I'm an incoming Assistant Professor in the College of Information Sciences and Technology at Pennsylvania State University.
Research Interests: My research broadly includes Usable Security, Decentralized Governance, and Human-Computer Interaction. More recently, I have been working on a research initiative in the intersection of democratization/decentralization and AI Governance.
I design, evaluate, and implement interventions to address ethical and privacy/security concerns in data-driven systems, covering facets, including, data, algorithms, and user interactions- in both user-to-user and user-to-company contexts. I study questions in the intersection of system and society, particularly in the context complex socio-technical system with a particular emphasis on underserved populations.
I am particularly interested in the following research topics:
--Democratic decision-making engaging diverse stakeholders to govern Large Language Models (LLMs)
--Designing privacy/security tooling and education design for people with different backgrounds, emphasizing underserved communities
--Usability and security of decentralized applications (Web3, Dapps, DAO, etc) and protocols
I'm very
fortunate to be advised by Dr. Yang Wang at the University
of Illinois at Urbana Champaign, based in Champaign, with additional
mentorship from Andrew Miller,
Dawn Song,
Sauvik Das, Yun Huang and many
other collaborators.
