Background
- Assistant professor at CyLab, Carnegie Mellon University's Security and Privacy Institute
- Jointly appointed between Software and Societal Systems (School of Computer Science) and Engineering and Public Policy (College of Engineering)
- Research focuses on the intersection of cryptography, privacy, policy, law, and societal issues
- Aims to explore what one *should* do beyond what one *can* do, and to systematically tailor cryptographic protocols to specific use cases
- Interdisciplinary work includes policy and technical analysis of end-to-end encrypted content moderation, compelled decryption, and privacy-preserving computation in contexts like journalism and age verification
- Also conducts 'pure' applied cryptography research, including zero-knowledge proofs, multi-party computation, private set intersection, and hash combiners
