My youngest daughter Dana Dachman-Soled
finished her PhD in
computer science at Columbia University
and was a post-doc at
Microsoft Research New England in 2011 - 2013.
In the Fall of 2013 she joined the
Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering
at the University of Maryland, College Park, as an
assistant professor.
Her research interests, involving the theoretical foundations of cryptography and
computational learning theory, are now focused on cybersecurity
in conjunction with UMIACS (University of Maryland Institute for Advanced Computer Studies)
and
MC2
(
Maryland Cybersecurity Center).
And she is teaching
Cryptography Against Physical Attacks in the Fall 2013 semester.
Among her invited talks are one
at the China Theory Week 2010 conference and more recently one at
Arizona State University.
Research Interests: Complex Analysis, Applied Mathematics, Computer Algebra
For Windows users Octave, Scilab, and the current version of Maxima with wxMaxima, a frontend to Maxima, installed. Many distributions of Linux include these mathematical tools. Documentation for Maxima is available from several sources; some of them are "work in progress" and should be treated as such.
For a complete mock-Unix environment, Windows users can install Cygwin and XFree86
