I am a full-time Research Scientist (CRCN, equivalent to Associate Professor) at
Inria Sophia Antipolis,
in the
PRIVATICS team.
I take an inter-disciplinary approach combining computer science and law. I am interested in a wide range of privacy problems including
- Studying legal GDPR and ePrivacy requirements for web tracking and consent
- Detecting new web tracking technologies
- Measuring web privacy in large scale experiments
- Detecting privacy vulnerabilities in Web browsers and websites
- Informing policy makers of gaps between law and technology
