EliMargolin

I'm a second yeah PhD student at the University of Pennsylvania. I am broadly interested in adapting traditional security frameworks and tooling for E2EE Messaging, and more specifically in zero knowledge proofs for security vulnerabilities and malware. I am advised by Sebastian Angel and Andreas Haeberlen.

During my Master's at Duke University I did research with Ashwin Machanavajjhala on the impact of the US Census' use of Differential Privacy on the Voting Rights Act. I also worked with Charles Becker on the impact of varying conflict types during the 1992-1995 Bosnian War on long term economic development. I completed my Bachelor's at Stanford.

I was previously a Security Engineer with Meta for 2 years, working in Incident Detection and Response.
