About Me
I am a Research Group Leader at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy.
My research centers on data privacy, examining its intersection with theoretical computer science and its broader societal implications. My research interests span multiple areas, including:
- Differentially Private Algorithm Design. I develop privacy-preserving algorithms in streaming and graph settings. My recent work focuses on resource-constrained environments where time or space limitations drive the development of sublinear algorithms.
- Interdisciplinary Privacy Research. I examine how privacy-preserving mechanisms interact with social science, law, and policy. My recent work explores how communication strategies can prevent privacy protections from inadvertently harming marginalized communities.

Previously, I was a Postdoctoral Research Scientist at Columbia University with Rachel Cummings. I completed my Ph.D. in Computer Science at Purdue University with Elena Grigorescu and Jeremiah Blocki. During my Ph.D. I was a Student Researcher at Google Research and a Research Intern at Analog Devices.
