* interrupting your election doomscrolling * I'm on the job market! I address online abuse as the next frontier of security & privacy, so all people using tech feel safe. Open to TT faculty/industry research roles in the US/abroad -- lmk if you know of a good home for my work!

The Happy Lab is hiring multiple PhD students for Fall 2025! RT appreciated :-) We discover how human factors can 1) mitigate ML-enabled abuse (deepfakes) and 2) be harnessed with ML-powered security to create safe, human-centric systems! Find us at: happyresearchlab.com :)
