Northeastern University, Cybersecurity and Privacy Institute
Hi – I’m a PhD candidate in Cybersecurity at Northeastern University, advised by David Choffnes, Woodrow Hartzog, and Christo Wilson. Previously, I wrote docs for Rapid7 and Akamai Technologies, and graduated from the ALIGN program with my M.S. in Cybersecurity.
My research spans UX, privacy, consumer protections, and law. At present, I’m focusing on dark patterns and manipulative interfaces across multiple contexts – I also study surveillance technologies and privacy erosion.
