Biography

I'm a master’s candidate in the Department of Computer and Data Sciences with a focus in artificial intelligence. My research involves developing a privacy-preserving, distributed, cloud-based architecture that can perform analytics on user data transparently and at scale. The work aims to address the privacy concerns of increasingly personalized modern applications that derive insight from user data. Previously, I implemented the backend of a contract tracing mobile application, ShareTrace, which aimed to provide a more effective and privacy-preserving approach to containing the spread of disease by considering the propagation of exposure risk through indirect contact of users.
