Riley Paddock

I am a Math and Computer Science Student in the College of Creative Studies (CCS) at the University of California Santa Barbara. I am interested in Cryptography, Quantum Computing, Machine Learning, and Algorithms. 

Currently I am a member of Prof Murphy Niu's Quantum Computing Lab at UCSB and involved as an Undergraduate Teaching Assistant in the Computer Science Department. I was a student reseacher for the Research in Industrial Projects (RIPS) program hosted at the Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics in 2024 where I worked with the Aerospace Corporation. I was a resident tutor at the Stanford University Mathematics Camp (SuMaC) in 2023.
