Background
- Currently holds the Canada Research Chair (Tier 2) in Privacy-preserving and Ethical Analysis of Big Data since December 2017.
- Main research area focuses on privacy protection and associated ethical issues in Big Data applications.
- Interested in long-term scientific challenges such as the tension between privacy and Big Data analytics, and fairness, accountability, and transparency in machine learning and personalized systems.
- Past research emphasized location privacy, with contributions in differential privacy, social network privacy, distributed systems privacy, privacy-preserving data mining, and identity management.
- Research includes both 'attack' side (e.g., inference risks in location-based services) and 'defense' side (e.g., Privacy Enhancing Technologies, PETs).
- PhD research was in Quantum Learning at the intersection of AI, Machine Learning, and Quantum Information Processing, though no longer actively working in this area.
