Research Overview

My research focuses on the political dimensions of technical systems, specifically exploring issues related to privacy and control, such as censorship circumvention, surveillance, and secure communication methods—an area of study broadly referred to as Internet Freedom. I am particularly interested in how authoritarian governments deploy information controls to limit access to information and how technology can be leveraged to counter these mechanisms. By developing a rigorous understanding of the technical limitations of censorship technologies, I aim to craft practical solutions that empower individuals living under repressive regimes.

Current Projects

Details on my current projects include innovative approaches to secure communication and the analysis of existing vulnerabilities in popular systems. For instance, my recent work involves developing methods for the secure dissemination of radio signals and investigating the vulnerabilities of VPN protocols, highlighting the intricate relationship between technical design and political implications.
