My research interests are broadly in the areas of security and privacy. I use computational, economic, and social science methods to understand & model users’ safety decision-making processes. I specifically investigate inequities that arise in these processes and work directly with marginalized and at-risk communities to design systems that facilitate safety equitably and respectfully.
