Student Opportunities

  1. I am looking for students at all levels who are interested in privacy innovation research. If you are a current or prospective student at SDSU, or if you are interested in pursuing a Ph.D. through UC Irvine's Computational Science Joint Doctoral Program or UC San Diego's Engineering Joint Doctoral Program, please e-mail me with your resume and research interests.

Bio

Dr. Chen’s research interests center around Differential Privacy (DP), privacy-enhancing technologies, and privacy in machine learning. She has experience in working on differentially private DNS resolution, DP for data stream release, differentially private resource allocator, and quantifying privacy risks in machine learning.
