Phrase-Verified Voting
We recently developed Phrase-Verified Voting, a voter-verifiable remote voting system easily assembled from commercial off-the-shelf software for small private elections. This sytem was built with Alan Sherman and Ryan Robucci (both from the UMBC Cyber Defense Lab) and Ted Selker, and is currently being used by multiple departments at UMBC. This page has the relevant information if you want to…

About authorship
Three things should be noted when it comes to names and publications, as practices vary between fields and I’m a bit of a special case. First, I changed my first name at the end of 2019, hence the discrepancy between some databases. I now sign everything as Enka Blanchard ( Enka’s FAQ ). I decided to indicate Enka on all the bibtex files here (if you are not used to bibtex and want APA…
About me
A colleague has mentioned being surprised by how much my research is intertwined with my life. It is quite accurate, as I generally tend to apply whatever I learn to all facets of my life, and tend to start learning about a subject as soon as it becomes relevant. One of the foremost ways in which this applies is my identity, as I am a part of slightly too many minorities. To name just some of…
Current Experiments
With the help of a number of other scientists, I have launched multiple experiments and user studies over the past few years. We are always looking for volunteers for those, so feel free to try one of the following (as a reward, you get the link to our hypotheses and preliminary research once you’re done with the study). Impostor syndrome in academia . If you are a young researcher or a…
Discrete Mathematics
My initial training was in mathematics, more specifically graph theory, and I did work for a while with Eldar Fischer , Oded Lachish , and Janos Makowski . I then worked with Nicolas Schabanel at the end of my Master’s degree, and then during the first half of my thesis, with a focus on dynamic clustering. I still try to do some research, mostly with Siargey Kachanovich and Sébastien…
