I attack flawed technology in law and society, and the flawed attempts to govern it.
For now, I am JD student at NYU School of Law as a Jacobson Leadership Program in Law and Business Fellow and Cybersecurity Service Scholar.
I am taking my PhD in aerospace & cognitive engineering from Georgia Tech’s Cognitive Engineering Center and my experience as a Congressional staffer to law school so that I can join the fight to ensure that the progress of science and technology does not erode the civil rights and liberties protections we hold so close.
