There’s a reason we say “What starts here changes the world” here at UT. Truly, anything big or small that starts here tends to have a major impact on the world. Take UT’s recent breakthrough research on the COVID vaccines as an example. Our students come here because they understand their time on the Forty Acres and Canfield BHP not only provides them with lifelong experiences, but with the opportunity to change the world. Within Canfield BHP, students experience a collaborative environment where they can work together to create the next big idea, incorporate the next market-disrupting start-up, develop a better production-boosting app, or establish the next world-saving NGO. Whatever the challenge, our tech-driven movers and shakers at the Texas Honors Computer Science and Business (Texas CSB) program are always up to the task, and that’s why they’re here –  to change the world.

We recently caught up with Canfield BHP/Texas CSBer, Arun Eswara. He shared some interesting tidbits about his role as a Cybersecurity Intern at the NSA and talked to us about his latest project, which he co-developed, called LyricLearner, a music app that “chooses a random word to start, decides the next word based on a weighted probability of all words that have followed the first, and continues building forward” and computes average album sentiments, comparing those values over time. 

Read on to learn more about Arun, his time interning at the NSA, and his latest project, LyricLearner.
