I am a post-doctoral
fellow at the Center for Research in Computation and
Society in the Computer Science Department at Harvard,
and am
affiliated with the Program
on Networked Governance.
I have recently completed my dissertation, “Privacy, Security and the Dynamics
of Networked Information Sharing” in the Public Policy Program
at the Harvard Kennedy School. My chair was David Lazer, and I defended
to a committee of Michael D. Smith (Computer Science), Jan Rivkin (HBS), and
Jean Camp (Indiana University, School of Informatics).
Mike Smith, Jim Waldo and I have designed a course on Privacy and Technology
(CS105), which uses case studies to combine computer science and policy
analysis tools to explore issues of privacy and information security.
Data breaches seem ubiquitous these days, but does anyone care? Alessandro
Acquisti and I used stock market prices to attempt to measure incentives to
safeguard personal information. We are currently updating the data set to
better detect incentives for information security.
David Lazer and I have a recent paper in Administrative Science Quarterly,
"
Parallel Problem Solving: The Social Structure of Exploration and
Exploitation." I am currently extending this model to look at the
phenomenon of crowdsourcing.
MITRE Corporation asked me to look at the question of privacy
and security of medical records. I designed a pilot study to better
understand the questions of organization-level information security patterns
and access control.
I help run a weekly seminar on
Privacy and Security in the Computer Science department. Videos of past
presentations are posted online. Contact me if you have any questions.
