I am a Graduate Student Researcher at the Security Lab (SeclaBU) at Boston University, under the advisory of Gianluca Stringhini. I have also collaborated with iDrama Lab and STIR Lab.
My research expertise lies at the intersection of Machine Learning, Privacy, and Online Safety. Specifically, I employ cross-platform and multi-modal approaches to study the dissemination of abusive and risky behavior online. My ultimate goal is to bridge the gap between social science and computer science research fields in order to build safe online systems and develop innovative technology-based strategies to address privacy and security risks.
