🔬My research: T&S enact the practices, policies, and technologies that online platforms implement to create secure and trustworthy environments for users. As an interdisciplinary scholar, I use a human-centered approach to address three areas of T&S:

• (1) Economic implications of T&S, exploring how T&S practices impact creator and platform economies;
• (2) Justice-oriented T&S, enhancing fairness, transparency, and accountability in platform moderation;
• (3) Designing T&S for vulnerable populations, especially children, through technological innovations, policy changes, and education.
