I am a Ph.D. candidate in the Human-Computer Interaction Institute at Carnegie Mellon University, advised by Sauvik Das and Jodi Forlizzi. My main PhD research seeks to answer the key question: How does AI change privacy, and what should we do about it? (my talk @ CMU Current Topics in Privacy Seminar) To that end, I develop tools that assist AI practitioners in identifying, reasoning about, and mitigating privacy risks during the development of consumer-facing AI products. In addition to my work in privacy & security, and human-centered AI, I study and build interactive systems that enhance people’s cognitive abilities, such as attention and critical thinking. My work has been published in leading Privacy & Security, AI Governance, and Human-Computer Interaction venues, including IEEE S&P, USENIX Security, AIES, CHI, TOCHI, and IJHCS. I have received a Best Paper Award (2024) and an Honourable Mention Award (2026) at CHI, and a Distinguished Paper Award (2024) at USENIX. I have been recognized with the CyLab Presidential Fellowship.

During my PhD, I interned with IBM Research (mentored by David Piorkowski), Microsoft Research (mentored by Advait Sarkar), and Brave (mentored by Philipp Winter).

 Research Interests: Human-Computer Interaction, Usable Privacy & Security, Human-Centered AI
