ABOUT ME
I research and teach about the social, political, and ethical dimensions of information technology, focusing especially on privacy and data ethics.
Starting in Fall 2018 I will be an Assistant Professor in the College of Information Sciences and Technology and a Research Associate at the Rock Ethics Institute at Penn State University.
I am currently an Assistant Professor of Philosophy at San Jose State University. Before coming to SJSU, I was a Research Fellow at the Information Law Institute at New York University's School of Law, a member of the Institute's Privacy Research Group, and a Visiting Scholar in NYU's Department of Media, Culture, and Communication.
