To Whom It May Concern,
It is my pleasure to recommend Anusha Kadiyala. Anusha was in my CS 544 Introduction to Cyber security
course in the spring semester 2014. She is a bright student and was always very motivated to learn new
material that was offered in the course. I required the students to apply their knowledge from previous courses
in operating systems, networking, and computer architecture to solve complex problems involving
vulnerabilities and exploits of Windows and Linux operating system and application software.
Anusha was one of the most diligent and thoughtful students in the course always applying herself to the lab
projects and working through the problems. In fact, she had approached me at the beginning of the course
inquiring if she would be able to succeed in my class based on her previous undergraduate and graduate
experience. I spoke to her about her past experience and recommended that she brush up on certain
areas. Evidently, she did and was able to complete my course with an A.
I enjoyed having her in my class. Anusha is a life-long learner and inspires others around her, including myself,
to continually improve their skills and expand their knowledge.
Sincerely,
Kevin Nauer
