Hello, I'm Kevin! I'm a research scientist at J.P. Morgan AI Research. My interests are in usable security and technology policy.
I earned my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Princeton University, where I was advised by Arvind Narayanan. I was also affiliated with the Center for Information Technology Policy. My dissertation was about the gap between research and practice in user authentication.
My CV is available upon request.
