Camille Cobb
Research
I am a postdoctoral researcher working with Lujo Bauer in the CyLab at Carnegie Mellon University.
I recently earned my Phd from the University of Washington in Computer Science & Engineering. During my PhD, I worked with Tadayoshi Kohno in the Security & Privacy Research Lab. I'm broadly interested in security and privacy, but I am particularly drawn to projects that seek to understand users' security and privacy expectations and how those expectations may be violated even when systems work as anticipated (e.g., are not compromised by malicious actors).
For more, see my CV.
Other Interests
Some of my non-research interests include: hanging out with my awesome dog; social dancing; playing soccer and softball; going to local sports games; knitting and other artistic endeavors.
