Delighted to announce that my advisee, @EricPauley_, has been awarded the Outstanding Graduate Student Research Award at UW–Madison CS! This honor is given to just one graduate student each year, and it’s difficult to think of someone more deserving.

And there is the AI-selected "best" poster competition!

I had too many slides:-) The audience questions/comments were simply amazing. Really engaged audience.

Exciting work about how @tiktok_us and @instagram use local machine learning to analyze user photos.

[Jack West @Jack_West24]

Recently, I was accepted to present a project I have been working on at IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy. The paper is titled, "A Picture is Worth 500 Labels: A Case Study of Demographic Disparities in Local Machine Learning Models for Instagram and TikTok"

[madS&P @madison_sp]

Our recent security analysis of Slack/MSFT Teams has been featured on WIRED! More details are on our project page: https://t.co/1suAXTrQMA

[Andy Greenberg (@agreenberg at the other places) @a_greenberg]

A new study warns hundreds of Slack and Teams apps could post on behalf of users, overwrite commands that launch other apps, sometimes even access private channels without permission. And these apps aren't code-reviewed or hosted on Slack/MSFT servers. https://t.co/QuRKXUgsFg

An exciting collaboration between @madison_sp with @NicolasPapernot.

We will miss you Earlence.

[earlence @EarlenceF]

I'm moving to the CSE dept at UCSD. The past ~3 years at UW Madison have been excellent and I'm very grateful to have the opportunity of working here. I'm looking forward to new adventures in San Diego.

[madS&P @madison_sp]

Welcome @pdmcdan!

[Patrick McDaniel @pdmcdan]

I am happy to announce that after 18 great years at Penn State I will be moving to the University of Wisconsin-Madison (@UWMadison), joining as the Tsun-Ming Shih Professor in the Dept. of Computer Sciences (@WisconsinCS).

[[email protected] @EthanCecchetti]

I'm thrilled to announce that I will be joining @WisconsinCS as an Assistant Professor starting Fall 2023! I am tremendously excited to expand and connect the already-fantastic @madison_sp and madPL groups.

[Somesh Jha @jhasomesh]

Emily Wenger @em_wenger gave a talk in @UWMadisonECE (organized by Prof. Kassem Fawaz) and talked about physical backdoor attacks. Very interesting. Thanks for visiting Emily.

Our research on the privacy properties of the mute button featured in this week's episode of BBC's Digital Planet!

[BBC Digital Planet @digitalplanet]

What is #twitter’s future if @ElonMusk takes over? #Videoconferencing apps can hear you even if you’re on mute @UWMadison. #microbots may be used for drug delivery @mousumi_akter1 @HokkaidoUni, and how to get #women into #videogamedesign @leighMilnerTV.

[UW-Madison College of Engineering @UWMadEngr]

You might have muted yourself, but the video conferencing app on your computer could still be collecting audio data. @UWMadisonECE’s Kassem Fawaz uncovered that privacy concern and will present his research @PET_Symposium in July.

Annoyed by cookie banners? Excellent work by my colleagues at @madison_sp that uses some NLP to automatically disable non-essential cookies! It's like adblock, but for pesky cookie prompts.
