Taylor JL Whitaker

BioGRAPHY

I am a graduate student at the University of Florida, where I am working towards a Ph.D. in Computer Engineering. I work as a Graduate Research Assistant in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department and conduct research with the Smart Systems Lab, led by Dr. Christophe Bobda. I hold a Master’s degree in Computer Engineering and a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science from the University of Arkansas.

Research Interests

Unmanned Systems Applications, Embedded Linux, and Hardware Security
