I am a privacy and security researcher who uses theory and methods from economics and behavioral economics to study how people make decisions about the management of their privacy. My work is interdisciplinary, sitting at the intersection of Management Information Systems (MIS), Psychology, Ethics, and Economics. I employ and develop experimental methodologies, including survey-based, lab, and field experiments.
As a junior scholar, I focused on a specific aspect of privacy management: information disclosure. My work has analyzed and uncovered factors affecting willingness to disclose information, including cognitive and behavioral biases, technological features, and economic market characteristics, and discussed policy implications. More recently, I have widened the scope of my work to technology ethics, which encompasses the impact of emerging technologies on privacy and, more broadly, self-determination. Some of the research questions I have been asking include: How do algorithms affect our choices and behaviors? How do recommendations and personalization shape our understanding of the world? How does artificial intelligence impact our interactions, both with fellow human beings and machines? How do technology design choices affect fundamental real world outcomes, such as resource distribution and power imbalance between corporations and individuals?
