Welcome to the PERSUE Lab
Our research aims to improve the privacy, security, and reliability of computing technologies.
Our research identifies and understands privacy, security, and reliability issues with information technologies and explores mitigation strategies toward 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.
