Welcome to the PERSUE Lab

Our research aims to improve the privacy, security, and reliability of computing technologies.

We take a human-centered perspective to understand the problem space while combining techniques from System Security, AI and Machine Learning, Internet Measurement, Cognitive Psychology, and Statistical Causal Inference methodologies to solve the identified problems.
