I am an Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Computing & Data Sciences at Boston University.

My research sits at the intersection of privacy, security, and human-centered computing. My goal is to understand how technology exacerbates marginalization using both in-depth qualitative and large-scale data-driven methods. Using these insights, I then work to mitigate inequality through designing safer systems and providing empirical evidence for policy changes.
