“I have known Alexander Haastrup for several years, as he is an undergraduate research student in my research lab, Security and Privacy of Emerging Networks (SPEN) at the University of Southern Mississippi (USM). Additionally, I taught him several courses, such as CE 260 Computer Networks, CE 210 Digital Design, and CE 350 Wireless and Network Security. Also, I was his advisor in the honors thesis. Alexander consistently proved himself a self-motivated and diligent researcher, demonstrating exceptional communication and critical thinking skills. His presentation abilities, combined with his adept use of available technologies, have consistently impressed me. As his research supervisor and professor, I have had an opportunity to observe his participation and interaction and to evaluate Alexander's knowledge of the subject matter. He is an outstanding student in all respects. Alexander has proven to accomplish tasks courteously and on time through hard work, follow-through, and teamwork. He is well-equipped to grow from the challenges that he is presented with. His patience and strong design skills prepare him beautifully for any challenge.”
