Benz Tran's Portfolio

As a computer science professor, I have a passion for exploring the intersection of technology and society. Through my research, teaching, and community engagement, I aim to make a positive impact on the world around me.

Research

My research focuses on the design and development of secure and privacy-preserving systems, with a particular emphasis on voice assistant technology. I have published several papers in conferences and journals, including  the IEEE Conference on Privacy, Security & Trust (PST),  the Springer Peer-to-Peer Networking Applications (PPNA), the IEEE International Conference on Acoustic, Speech and Signal Processing (ICASSP),  and the IEEE International Conference on Communications (ICC) 

Teaching

I believe that teaching is one of the most rewarding aspects of my profession. I have taught a wide range of computer science courses at both the undergraduate and graduate levels, including Introduction to Computer Science, Computer Networks, Data Structures and Algorithms, and Security and Privacy in Computing. I am committed to providing an inclusive and supportive learning environment for all students.

Community Engagement

I am a firm believer in the power of technology to drive positive social change. In my community engagement work, I have collaborated with local non-profit organizations to develop technology solutions that address pressing social issues. For example, I have worked with a local homeless shelter to develop a mobile app that helps connect people experiencing homelessness with resources and support.

In summary, my goal as a computer science professor is to use my skills and expertise to make a positive impact on the world around me. I am always looking for new opportunities to collaborate with like-minded individuals and organizations, so please don't hesitate to get in touch!
