Tanya Prasad will be presenting "RegTrack: Uncovering Global Disparities in Third-party Advertising and Tracking" at MADWeb 2026 (co-located with NDSS).
This work is the culmination of her Master's thesis, introducing RegTrack, a measurement framework that quantifies how browser choice, user location, and hosting jurisdiction shape users' real-world exposure to third-party ads and trackers.
Assistant Professor Thomas Pasquier and Amazon collaborators are developing a more sophisticated intrusion detection system to catch stealthy cyber attacks. Read more about their project in our new article: https://t.co/jeoS6hrycM
