Synthesis and Computational Analysis of Novel IspF Inhibitors

  • Daniel Harper

A potent inhibitor of 2C-methyl-D-erythritol 2,4-cyclodiphosphate synthase (IspF) has the potential to serve as a new class of antibiotic. In this project, we explored the development of such an...

Homomorphic Encryption

  • Bryan Tapley

A homomorphic encryption scheme built on polynomial rings is studied. The construction of irreducible polynomials in a given field is considered and implemented. Isomorphisms between two fields are...
