Beginning in July 2024, I will be an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science & Engineering Department at UC San Diego.

I am recruiting PhD students to begin in Fall 2024 at UCSD! You can find a page that details my interests and what you can expect from me as an advisor here.

My research takes an empirical approach to studying the security and digital safety threats that emerge when people interact with sociotechnical systems at scale. I blend large-scale, data-driven measurements with human-centered studies to understand how such threats, which range from misinformation to online abuse, are operationalized in practice and how people experience them. Ultimately, my work contributes insights, data, defenses, and systems that seek to make the Internet a safer place for all people.

You can find my publications here, my CV here, and my Google Scholar page here.

I won the 2020 CRA/CCC CI Fellowship and the 2022 David and Helen Gurley Brown Institute Magic Grant in support of my research into online abuse.
