Alexandra Nisenoff

Hello! I'm Ally, a Societal Computing PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University where my co-advisors are Professor Nicolas Christin and Professor Lorrie Faith Cranor. My research interests generally fall under the umbrella of web privacy and human factors of computer security/privacy, but I have worked in several other areas in the past.

Prior to grad school I attended the University of Chicago where I majored in Computer Science (with a specialization in computer security) and Astrophysics. During undergrad and my fabulous gap year I was a member of the SUPERgroup where I was incredibly fortunate to work with Blase Ur and several other professors that were willing to put up with me!

When I'm not doing research I can be found working on some random craft project.
