About Me
Children's Privacy Scholar · HCI · University of Chicago
I'm a CS PhD student at the University of Chicago, working with Marshini Chetty at the Amyoli Internet Research Lab. My research specializes in law-informed HCI at the intersection of children's privacy, EdTech, and AI safety for youth, asking what it actually takes to build technology that is safe for young people, and what it costs when we get it wrong.
Children's privacy is the throughline of my work. Who collects data about children, under what conditions, and with what consequences? That question has led me naturally into AI safety for youth: as generative AI moves into classrooms and homes, the same structural questions about oversight, accountability, and design responsibility apply, with even higher stakes. My current projects examine how youth experience AI and EdTech, and how large language models can help automate privacy policy analysis at scale.
I hold a Master of Legal Studies from the University of Chicago Law School, with a focus on privacy, copyright, and administrative law. That background shapes how I frame research questions. I can see where the law provides tools and where it falls short, which makes for better empirical work and more actionable findings. My research has been published at ACM CHI and PETS, and presented at venues including the Privacy Law Scholars Conference. I am also an affiliate at UNC's Center for Information, Technology, and Public Life (CITAP).
I am expecting to finish my PhD in spring 2027. My work sits at the intersection of research, law, and policy, and I am interested in positions across academia, industry, and government where that combination is an asset. If you are working on children's privacy, AI safety for youth, or usable privacy more broadly, I would love to hear from you.
About This Site
This site started as a Beautiful Jekyll theme and has since been substantially redesigned. The layout, typography, color system, and component styling are all custom-built. Beautiful Jekyll now serves only as a historical starting point, with none of its original CSS, JavaScript, or layout templates remaining in the final site.
The redesign was built around a dark navy palette with serif display type (Libre Baskerville), sans-serif body text (DM Sans), and a gold accent system. No Bootstrap. No jQuery. No analytics.
Built with
- Jekyll — static site generator
- Beautiful Jekyll — original theme scaffold (since replaced)
- Type Scale — typographic scale reference
- The A11Y Machine — accessibility auditing
