About Me
I received my PhD in Computer Science at Stanford University, advised by Zakir Durumeric.
My research leverages methods from computer security and human-computer interaction to holistically understand, and thereby better develop mitigations for, abuses of sociotechnical systems.
My graduate work was supported by a National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship. Previously, I graduated from UC Berkeley, where I worked with Serge Egelman at the International Computer Science Institute.
