I'm also on the TT faculty job market! I study how digital harm crosses between platforms and into the physical world and design technical and policy protections. I’m finishing a postdoc at Stanford, where I also teach ethics in CS with @StanfordHAI @StanfordEthics. Come say hi!
I’m at #CSCW2024 to present a taxonomy of digital harms and users' self-protective behaviors in algorithmically-mediated offline interactions (AMOIs) like gig work and online dating: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36869… With @iamdaricia, Aurelia, Sophie, @eredmil1, and @tripsandflips_

If you're experiencing the winter joy of submitting PhD applications by the fire, consider applying to the Happy Lab @ ASU (deadline 12/31)! We do research in cybersecurity, trustworthy ML, and human-computing interaction (and often, all at the same time!)
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 :)

On that note, I’m excited share that our work received a Best Paper Honorable Mention 🏅 I’m also on the ✨postdoc/industry job market✨ this year. Looking forward to meeting new and familiar faces at #CSCW2024 so come say hi — my DMs are open!
I’m traveling to Costa Rica for @ACM_CSCW today! I’ll be presenting PressProtect, an interface that offers journalists more control while navigating social media in the face of harassment. 🧵 Joint work with Anne, @_kumarde , and Zakir 🔗 dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.1145/3… #CSCW2024

(8/9) This has implications for how we build protections against digital harm, and for what harms we choose to study.
