Enhancing Privacy, Security, and Safety in Health Technologies
This project delves into the critical issues of privacy, security, and safety within the realm of health technologies. We are living in an era where online platforms and mobile apps constantly collect, analyze, and broker our data. Privacy and safety concerns are paramount in the face of emergent international affairs and shifting regulatory apparatus. This project is currently led by my student Qiurong Song.
