Welcome to the PERSUE Lab. Our research improves the privacy, security, and reliability of computing technologies.

PERSUE Team

Our research identifies and addresses privacy, security, and reliability issues in information technologies, exploring mitigation strategies to create a safer technology ecosystem. 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. Learn more about our ongoing projects.

We thank the NSF and DARPA for their support of our research.
