I'm a PhD student in Computer Science at the University of California, Davis where I'm advised by Professor Zubair Shafiq and a member of the ProperData NSF SaTC Frontier Project. My research interests involve the privacy and safety aspects of online algorithmic systems. I'm also the developer and maintainer of YouTubeAudit.
Prior to joining UC Davis, I worked at the Technology for People Initiative Lab on projects related to online privacy and media analytics.
