Hi all! I am looking to recruit 1-2 summer 2025 research interns to work with me at MPI-SP in Bochum, Germany, on topics relating to the ethics and harms of emerging technologies, including (but not limited to!) virtual reality, brain computer interfaces, and more! (1/2)



I highly recommend folks to apply. @yixinzouu is not only an excellent researcher but also the most kind mentor one could ask for.

We (human-centered security and privacy group at @maxplanckpress #MPI_SP) are hiring interns to start anytime in 2025! Applications are due on Nov. 1, 2024. If interested, submit an application to the central portal (cis.mpg.de/internships/) and email me a quick note after. 1/3

Thanks @GoogleAI for awarding me and @yixinzouu a Google Academic Research Award. We will work to design tech for defending emerging adults from scams on platforms like TikTok where content sometimes gets a bit undeserved trust. Thanks for the support @maxplanckpress, @IITKgp

Help us congratulate the Google Academic Research Awards (GARA) winners. The program will support 95 projects led by 143 researchers that use tech to shape a better future across the globe. Check out the inaugural GARA winners →goo.gle/gara
