My research aims to make differential privacy usable through human-centered tools. To this end, I have developed interactive visualization interfaces and other abstractions for data curators, data analysts, and data subjects to reason about privacy loss within a differential privacy framework. In general, I am interested in problems where technology and society meet, and where using a technology requires grappling with hard social questions. At Harvard, I am hosted by Professor Salil Vadhan. I received a joint PhD in computer science and communication from Northwestern University, advised by Professor Jessica Hullman.
