Month: September 2019

The Security and Privacy Research Lab is excited to welcome new PhD student Miranda Wei! Prior to starting her PhD, Miranda worked with Blase Ur at the University of Chicago.

This has been a very productive and busy summer for the UW Allen School Security and Privacy Research Lab! To celebrate the end of summer, the lab ventured on an outing to “Molly Moon’s Homemade Ice Cream”, a short walk from our building. It was a beautiful day, and great ice cream! 🙂

Visiting Cal Poly undergraduate Henry Bowman presented his summer project final presentation at today’s Security Lab meeting, before returning to Cal Poly to finish his Bachelors Degree.

Henry’s work focused on problems related to augmented reality, computer security, and privacy. As part of his summer project, Henry contributed to the Security Lab’s ShareAR project. ShareAR, or the Secure and Private AR Sharing Toolkit, is a project developed by Security Lab member Kimberly Ruth with faculty members Franzi and Yoshi and that enables the secure and private sharing of holographic HoloLens objects with others users. Allen School undergraduate student AJ Kruse also contributed to the project this summer. To learn more about the project, see Kimberly’s 2019 USENIX Security paper and talk.

Great job Henry, and great talk!
