Bio
I am an Assistant Professor of Computer Science. My research brings a large-scale, empirical approach to the study of Internet security, trust, and safety. I am interested in how to protect people against attacks on the Internet ranging from cybercrime and harassment to censorship and disinformation. I am broadly an empiricist: I build systems to measure complex networked ecosystems at scale, which I use to understand real-world behavior, uncover weaknesses and attacks, architect more resilient defenses, and guide public policy.
