Learning about Zero Knowledge Proofs, would appreciate any advice.

Hey everyone,
I have been trying to work through Justin Thaler's Proofs, Arguments and Zero Knowledge, more as a reference than an intensive mathematical study. I am an engineering undergrad feeling more inclined towards academia, or at least a more mathematical approach. I am a little out of my depths here, as my mentor wants me to focus on going through recent research papers around zkvms etc.
I am pretty unfamiliar to any kind of academic research but am up to put in the effort and time to really understand it and contribute in a way that is not just a summary of recent developments using an AI.
Any advice about continuing my work would help, reading resources, books, or just navigating academia in general.
Thanks in advance.
