Even thought it's been a minute since IEEE S&P'23 (Oakland), it's still feel great to share this small writeup from GW Engineering that Collins Munyendo won a distinguished paper award at IEEE S&P. engineering.gwu.edu/serving-unders…

It is almost graduate school application season! For international applicants: did you know that you can ask Departments about application fee waivers? I wrote a template to help you out: docs.google.com/document/d/1Pn…

📢 Are you an underrepresented applicant for CMU School of Computer Science PhD program? We're here to help! Daye Nam and I are leading SCS GASP. We match PhD applicants with student mentors for application feedback. To be considered, please complete the form by Sep 30: cs.cmu.edu/~gasp

Are you applying for grad school in computer science this year? Are you having trouble finding application support, especially because you are from an under-represented background? The PAMS program at Allen School pairs you with a current PhD student to mentor you!

Adam is an awesome advisor and mentor! Work with Adam!

For any CS PhD applicants this year: 'Grad app support programs' give informal feedback (on statements, etc) from current PhD students before formally applying. Valuable stuff. Made a 2024 tracker. Feel free to share! +Reach out if one's missing. 👇 andrewkuz.net/public/dashboa…

We're launching the grad app program to help queer scholars get into grad school! Please amplify so this can reach people who need it.

As we head into PhD application season, a reminder that I will be admitting new PhD students in the GWU/Usable Sec. & Priv. Lab lab. A quick thread of the kind of research we are doing, if any of this interests you, but I am also interested in finding students who can push me in new directions. 1/9

Super proud of my student Monica who presented her first research poster at ACM CCS 2024! GW Engineering GWU/Usable Sec. & Priv. Lab

The Happy Lab is hiring multiple PhD students for Fall 2025! RT appreciated :-) We discover how human factors can 1) mitigate ML-enabled abuse (deepfakes) and 2) be harnessed with ML-powered security to create safe, human-centric systems! Find us at: happyresearchlab.com :)

I'm on the job market for tt faculty positions! I conduct research to resist harmful tech, data and AI and empower communities to imagine and build better data and AI futures. Please let me know if there are any positions I might be a good fit for!

* interrupting your election doomscrolling * I'm on the job market! I address online abuse as the next frontier of security & privacy, so all people using tech feel safe. Open to TT faculty/industry research roles in the US/abroad -- lmk if you know of a good home for my work!

Congratulations (nearly) Dr. Collins Munyendo on passing his dissertation defense! Collins is my first, home grown PhD student whom I admitted directly. It's been amazing to see you mature over the years, and I can't wait to see what you do next.
