As an Open Tech Fellow at Citizen Lab, I'm researching various privacy aspects of WeChat and its application ecosystem. I have also collaborated with Censored Planet to study the deployment of network filters across the Internet.

I’m working on a few projects investigating post-COVID use of surveillance software in the workplace. I've researched how labor organizers threat model for privacy and security in online workplaces. I also co-run a reading group that reads papers about global trends in algorithmic management and the effect of tech development on modern labor practices, centering the worker perspective.
I love doing puzzles. I also love writing puzzles! I've designed several puzzlehunts and escape rooms. I helped Teammate write the 2023 MIT Mystery Hunt, where I also designed the character and art for the Ascent round, vaguely based on "biblically accurate angel" memes and the Tower of Babel. The puzzles I am most proud of constructing are Book of Fixed Stars, a puzzle which utilizes Arabic, and Fountain.
