The Privacy Lab explores privacy and human–computer interaction (HCI). We seek to understand users’ privacy attitudes and behaviors in their interaction with technologies and exploring how to design better systems to support users’ privacy management.

The lab applies both qualitative and quantitative methods, ranging from structural equation modeling, factor analysis, regression, longitudinal analysis, causal inference, machine learning, to grounded theory and thematic analysis.

Projects

Privacy management in real-time information sharing
We study how people manage their privacy boundaries in synchronous multimodal information sharing, such as live streaming.

Privacy design on social media
We aim to explore better privacy design for social media users that is usable, privacy-preserving and social friendly.

Cross-cultural privacy management
We explore cultural differences in privacy attitudes and behaviors between different national cultures and privacy designs that support people to manage their privacy in different cultural context.
