I taught Meshal for two classes: Encryption and Authentication Systems and the Information Security Capstone. Meshal did excellent work in both. His capstone project, which is Lewis' equivalent to a thesis, was very well-written and well-researched. Meshal speaks and writes English very well, and he has a great sense of humor. I really enjoyed working with him. He is very smart and hard-working. He has tremendous potential and will immediately benefit the company that hires him.
