Class Overview
This course explores the latest advances in privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs). The privacy technology field is an exciting research arena with significant promise to ease the tension between data privacy and data discovery. In this course, we will explore privacy technology research, with focus on tools, technologies, and applications. Upon leaving the course, students should feel well prepared to take on the privacy-oriented programming and data analysis challenges that they will undoubtedly encounter.
Course Structure
The course will include lectures, weekly paper readings with student paper reviews, a late mid-term exam, and student self-picked tasks/experiences. Lectures will be given by a combination of the class instructor, visiting lecturers, and student presentations. The material from the course will be taken from recent and classic papers published in privacy-related conferences.

COVID-19 Considerations:
EECS 598-9 will be in-person in Winter 2023, and we will be following the university’s COVID-19 teaching protocols, thus masks in the classroom are optional (but encouraged by the instructor). At this time, there is limited remote access to EECS 598-9, and the class will be recorded and made available to students. All office hours will be held on Zoom at the Zoom link shared in the EECS 598-9 welcome email.
Student Well-Being
Students may experience stressors that can impact both their academic experience and their personal well-being. These may include academic pressure and challenges associated with relationships, mental health, alcohol or other drugs, identities, finances, etc.
If you are experiencing concerns, seeking help is a courageous thing to do for yourself and those who care about you. If the source of your stressors is academic, please contact me so that we can find solutions together. For personal concerns, U-M offers many resources, some of which are listed at Resources for Student Well-being on the Well-being for U-M Students website. You can also search for additional resources on that website.
