Research

My research combines human-computer interaction, networks, and machine learning to study privacy & security for consumer protection. My ongoing work focuses on contextual integrity, the Internet of things (IoT), and education technologies.

Teaching

I teach several computer science courses on privacy and security, machine learning, hardware development, computer systems, and introductory CS. Colgate students are welcome to email me with questions about these courses or anything else related to computer science at Colgate.

Advising

If you are a Colgate student interested in conducting research on technology & society, privacy & security, applied machine learning, or an adjacent topic, please email me or stop by my office hours!
