I do academic research in technology law and in computer science (security and cryptography). I am a postdoctoral fellow at Columbia University and visiting fellow at Columbia Law School, hosted by Steven Bellovin and Daniel Richman.

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. During my Ph.D. studies, I was in the Cryptography and Information Security and Theory of Computation groups at MIT, and also affiliated with MIT’s Internet Policy Research Initiative and with the Digital Currency Initiative (DCI) at the MIT Media Lab. Between 2017–20, I was a Fellow and then an Affiliate at the Berkman-Klein Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University. Between 2018–20, I also did postdoctoral research at the MIT Media Lab’s Digital Currency Initiative. After law school, I spent the 2021–22 academic year as a postdoctoral fellow at Cornell Tech’s Digital Life Initiative, hosted by James Grimmelmann and Helen Nissenbaum, supported by a 2021 Computing Innovation Fellowship.

I am currently looking for faculty positions to start in Fall 2023.
