About
I am a PhD student in Computing Science at the University of Alberta, under the supervison of Bailey Kacsmar at PUPS: Practical Usable Privacy and Security Research Lab. My research investigates how applying privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) to automatic decision-making (ADM) systems can conflict with other ADM objectives, such as privacy, fairness, and protection against adversarial manipulation. I am also interested in designing PETs that align with end-users' priorities when trade-offs arise while still meeting technical requirements.
Prior to joining my PhD, I received my MSc in Computer Science from the University of Alberta. Before joining the University of Alberta, I worked as a Research Assistant at the City University of Hong Kong, Hong Kong.
