I am a Postdoctoral Research Fellow within Roya Ensafi’s Censored Planet Lab in the Computer Science and Engineering (CSE) School at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. Previously, I received my PhD student in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) at UC Irvine and was advised by Athina Markopoulou and part of the ProperData NSF Frontier project. My research lies at the intersection of privacy and networking to improve the (1) transparency of data collection practices by characterizing advertising and tracking ecosystems across different platforms such as the web, smart TVs and Oculus VR; and the (2) control of data collection by designing frameworks and methodologies to automate the pain-points of privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) that block advertising and tracking on the web. For more information, see my CV.
