I’m an Assistant Professor in Computer Science at the
NYU Courant
Institute of Mathematical Sciences, and as
Affiliated Interdisciplinary Faculty
at the NYU School of Law.
I do research in computer science and
in technology law and policy, especially related to
security, privacy, and transparency in digital technologies.
I received my J.D. at Harvard Law School,
my Ph.D. in computer science at MIT (advised by Shafi Goldwasser), and my B.A. in computer science at the
University of Cambridge. I am a licensed
attorney in
New York State.
Guide to Security Research Legal Risks,
2024 Update.
In August 2024, Kendra Albert and I released an updated
version of our
Researcher's Guide to Some Legal Risks of Security Research (alternate archived link), which takes into account
the latest legal developments. The Guide is jointly published by the Cyberlaw Clinic at Harvard Law
School, the Technology Law & Policy Clinic at the NYU School of Law, and the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).

Interested in working with me?
Thank you for your interest! I really appreciate it.
I am not able to reply to all emails I receive from
prospective Ph.D. students, due to volume of email.
If you’re thinking about emailing me because you’re
interested in being my Ph.D. student at NYU Courant,
and we don’t already know each other,
please fill out this contact
form instead of emailing me. This helps me keep your info organized.
(Important: the link is just a form to contact me personally;
it’s not a formal application to do a Ph.D.
To apply for the Ph.D. program
at NYU Courant, you must submit an application to NYU GSAS directly.)
If you’re interested in working with me in some other capacity
(such as a postdoc, postgraduate law fellowship, J.S.D., or law student RA)
then please email me and circle back
once if I haven’t replied after two weeks.
I appreciate your patience with my inbox, and your interest in working with me.
