Research areas

Foundational and applied research across intelligent systems, privacy-conscious computation, and secure information access.

Privacy-preserving AI

Our researchers study privacy in AI through differential privacy, privacy-preserving machine learning, and privacy-preserving federated learning. The work develops methods for learning from sensitive and distributed data while limiting information exposure.

  • Differential privacy
  • Privacy-preserving machine learning
  • Privacy-preserving federated learning

Researchers

Privacy-preserving systems

We study privacy-conscious computation and data sharing in untrusted and outsourced environments, including cloud and edge computing, distributed systems, blockchains, and extended reality.

  • Distributed systems & data sharing
  • Cloud, edge & blockchain
  • Privacy in emerging environments

Researchers

Privacy & access control

Our interests include attribute-based access control, insider threats, security and privacy in IoT, and secure health information exchange. We connect foundational security questions with the systems people depend on.

  • Attribute-based access control
  • IoT & network security
  • Secure information exchange
