Research Interests

I use mixed-methods approach rooted in HCI, computational social science, and tech policy, to answer the question: How can we ensure that people’s online experiences with emerging technologies are inclusive, safe and trustworthy, particularly for at-risk and under-represented populations?

A few directions of particular interest to me currently include:

• Exploring cross-cultural online privacy perspectives of under-represented regions such as South Asia versus Western regions
• Investigating the landscape of frauds and scams on video-based social media platforms, including fraudulent GenAI content.
• Exploring how young adults experience fraudulent GenAI content on video-based social media platforms, and evaluate the effectiveness of current platform policies in mitigating these harms.
