Biography
I am a fourth year Ph.D. student at the University of Michigan School of Information and Computer Science & Engineering, where I am advised by Dr. Florian Schaub (SI advisor) and Dr. Nikola Banovic (CSE advisor). I'm completing both Ph.D. programs' requirements.
I find ways to protect people's consent on the internet. In particular, I focus on designing social systems grounded in affirmative consent to tackle problems both in the user-to-system (user-to-company) context (e.g., data ownership and privacy issues) and user-to-user context (e.g., online harassment). Unsurprisingly, I find these two contexts deeply related to each other, and decided to research both.
