 Omg, @iefan 🕊️ is back! Haven’t seen you in a minute friend 🤙 
 I've been around, just needed a break. Started my PhD recently, and the first year was crazy stressful. 😂 
 Oh shit… Doctor Iefan has a nice ring to it! What’s your PhD in? 
 For the first one and a half years, my focus will primarily be on cryptography and generative models. After that, I will likely narrow my specialization.

I have recently started writing a paper on combining the post-quantum Kyber encryption algorithm with the classic AES algorithm. It may not be the ground breaking paper, but you have to start somewhere! 😂 
 I’m glad there are people who can help share important tools like this to the world. But I haven’t a clue what any of it means. If you need to go under for any major surgical procedures though, I’m your man 🤣
