My research is currently focused in two main areas. You can find a complete list of my recent and on-going work by perusing my publications.

A pile of mobile phones Mitigating technology abuse in interpersonal violence
I co-run (with Tom Ristenpart) a research group studying how to discover, mitigate, and prevent technology-facilitated abuse in contexts of interpersonal violence. You can learn more by visiting the IPV Tech Research webpage. As part of this work, we also co-founded and co-direct the Clinic to End Tech Abuse.
A home health aide using a custom built voice assistant Protecting and empowering home health care workers
I also co-run (with Dr. Maddie Sterling) a research group that aims to elevate and safeguard home health care workers. Together, we co-lead the Initiative on Home Care Work. My focus is on designing and building technology innovations that protect these essential workers and the patients they care for from structural harm in workplace technologies.
