I'm a PhD student in the Department of Computer Science at Columbia University. My research interests are in Security and Human-Computer Interaction, more specifically usable policy management. My research adviser is Steve Bellovin and I'm a member of the Systems Security Center at Columbia. I'm also the president of Columbia Women in Computer Science and the finance chair for GSAC. As an undergrad I studied computer science at the University of San Diego.
