I'm so thrilled to share that I’m a recipient of the 2025 Google PhD Fellowship (in Privacy, Safety, and Security) for my work on consent and responsible data collection! Thank you to everyone who supported me, especially my advisor, @asia_biega, and my collaborators!

If you are a CS BSc/MSc student who wants to learn what it would be like to do a PhD in CS, check out our Cornell-Maryland-MPI "Summer School". 📅 15. Feb 2025: Application deadline ✍ cmmrs.mpi-sws.org/how-to-app… // #mpi_inf #mpi_sws #mpi_sp

Join the Initiative ‘Max Planck Law | Tech | Society’ for an online event with @asia_biega on 8 November. Explore the computational and human factors in data protection, and discuss how research can enhance governance in data-driven AI systems. Register: law.mpg.de/event/data-protec…

* interrupting your election doomscrolling * I'm on the job market! I address online abuse as the next frontier of security & privacy, so all people using tech feel safe. Open to TT faculty/industry research roles in the US/abroad -- lmk if you know of a good home for my work!

The Happy Lab is hiring multiple PhD students for Fall 2025! RT appreciated :-) We discover how human factors can 1) mitigate ML-enabled abuse (deepfakes) and 2) be harnessed with ML-powered security to create safe, human-centric systems! Find us at: happyresearchlab.com :)

Hi all! I am looking to recruit 1-2 summer 2025 research interns to work with me at MPI-SP in Bochum, Germany, on topics relating to the ethics and harms of emerging technologies, including (but not limited to!) virtual reality, brain computer interfaces, and more! (1/2)

We (human-centered security and privacy group at @maxplanckpress #MPI_SP) are hiring interns to start anytime in 2025! Applications are due on Nov. 1, 2024. If interested, submit an application to the central portal (cis.mpg.de/internships/) and email me a quick note after. 1/3

Emiliano De Cristofaro and I are co-chairing the Usability and Measurements track for ACM CCS 2025. We are seeking nominations for PC members to join our track. If interested, please fill out the form -- self-nominations are welcome!

🎉📢 I'm on the tenure track job market! 👋✨ I study how people building “AI” think about the downstream harms their work makes possible, and the epistemic and political economic systems which shape their thoughts, and our future.

Saw this new article @UpolEhsan shared and wanted to reshare a GoogleDoc I started last year on responding to common qualitative research critiques. You are welcome to contribute! Most people who have added examples so far have been HCI folks. docs.google.com/document/d/1…

I am looking to hire two Ph.D. students this coming Fall 2025. If you have strong design/system-building skills and are interested in any of the following- -Privacy and security solutions for marginalized and underserved communities -Human-in-the-loop governance for LLMs -Usable security and privacy for Web3/DeFi I would be happy to chat if you are at @USENIXSecurity or drop me your CV.

I will present our work on user-centered conceptual designs for data minimization, insights from user interviews, and privacy experts' evaluation. ⏲️Thursday at User Studies III: Privacy I Track 3 at 10:45 am @USENIXSecurity @asia_biega @_LinKyi
