magazine articles can be a great place for ideas that might not fit in a regular paper, e.g.,
- provoke discussion
- inspire new research agendas
- systematize existing bodies of knowledge
- critique existing approaches
- offer original case studies or research

My PhD research looks at societal forces like gender & social media to understand / respond to harms where security, privacy, & HCI meet. Deep dives incl. interpersonal abuse, image-based sexual abuse (e.g., synthetic nonconsensual explicit images, "deepfake porn"), online hate.

I've taken multidisciplinary perspectives to study tech & society throughout my academic journey. With much gratitude to my co-advisors @franziroesner @yoshi_kohno, I'm excited to graduate with a PhD from @uwcse in 2025. Don't hesitate to reach out online or catch me at CSCW!

If you know someone applying to a CS PhD this year - make sure they know of grad app support programs!!
Free informal feedback (on statements, etc) from current PhD students before formally applying. Kinda new, but great stuff.
I track them here (2025):

It's the week before my 5th year at @UTexasMoody starts, so I thought I'd drop some resources that may be helpful if you're in various transitional stages in academia. Today, I'm sharing a 🧵of the readings I send my grad students at different stages.
