I am a Ph.D. Candidate in Computer Science at University of California, Davis, where I am advised by Professor Zubair Shafiq.
Broadly, my research interests include web privacy, security, and technology policy. Specifically, I focus on bringing transparency and accountability towards opaque data practices on the web by applying internet measurement techniques to empower users and regulators, making our web more private and secure. Current focus areas include online tracking, data brokers, and AI systems.
