I'm also on the TT faculty job market! I study how digital harm crosses between platforms and into the physical world and design technical and policy protections. I’m finishing a postdoc at Stanford, where I also teach ethics in CS with @StanfordHAI @StanfordEthics. Come say hi!
I’m at #CSCW2024 to present a taxonomy of digital harms and users' self-protective behaviors in algorithmically-mediated offline interactions (AMOIs) like gig work and online dating: dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/36869…

I'm on the job market! I address online abuse as the next frontier of security & privacy, so all people using tech feel safe. Open to TT faculty/industry research roles in the US/abroad -- lmk if you know of a good home for my work!

My first interview with the Max Planck Society on combating #disinformation in social media and fostering #facts and #fair dialogues online! @maxplanckpress
Mia Cha und ihr Team am Max-Planck-Institut für Sicherheit und Privatsphäre analysiert #Desinformation in den Sozialen Medien und entwickelt Wege, um Fakten und faire Dialoge im Netz zu fördern. mpg.de/23611161/datenwissens… #SocialMedia @nekozzang
ALT In den Sozialen Medien verbreiten sich Falschinformationen und Hass schnell, lassen sich aber von geeigneten Algorithmen detektieren und womöglich sogar regulieren.

I’m planning to hire 2 PhD students in Fall25 at @KhouryCollege!
How do we make privacy easier for people?
How do we address people’s real privacy needs objectively and subjectively?
How does AI play a role in introducing and mitigating risks?

So excited to embark on this journey with @_mainack! Let’s make short video platforms a safer space for emerging adults. Many thanks also go to @Smirity, who’s been leading the research that motivates this proposal and who co-wrote the proposal with us!
Thanks @GoogleAI for awarding me and @yixinzouu a Google Academic Research Award.
We will work to design tech for defending emerging adults from scams on platforms like TikTok where content sometimes gets a bit undeserved trust.
Thanks for the support @maxplanckpress, @IITKgp

The goal of a PhD student does not need to be “publish papers”. Rather, a PhD program should center the growth of PhD students as researchers. Students may, of course, publish papers as part of the PhD journey: yoshi-kohno.medium.com/the-g…
