I am a PhD student in Information Sciences at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. I have a master’s degree in Public Policy Management from Carnegie Mellon University and a bachelor's in Political Science (International Relations) and Library and Information Science from National Taiwan University.
My research interests are broadly in usable privacy, technology policy and responsible AI.
In my free time, I am passionate about studying, reading, and learning about policy and politics.
Feel free to reach out if you're interested—I'm happy to chat about AI privacy risks. Contact me at yuju2@illinois.edu.
