I utilize an evolutionary framework to analyze how people think, communicate, and make privacy-related decisions in digitally structured environments. My research leverages insights from evolutionary psychology, communication studies, cognitive science, and computational linguistics.
I focus some of my work on law and policy, with an eye for how to strengthen privacy protections online.
