STEVE SHENG
I am a fifthyear Ph.D. student at Carnegie Mellon University, and I am interested in protecting people’s identities and privacy online using technology and public policy. One of my main areas of concentration is anti-phishing, which protects people from online criminals that try to steal personal information. My advisor is Lorrie Cranor.
