Yael Eiger

I’m a PhD candidate in the Security and Privacy Research Lab at the University of Washington Paul G. Allen Center for Computer Science and Engineering, where I am lucky to be advised by Franziska Roesner.

My research interests center around technology in the carceral system e.g. surveillance, policing technology, electronic monitoring, sentencing algorithms, etc. I’m also interested in related interdisciplinary topics e.g. tech policy/privacy law, consumer protection, data ethics, deceptive design, etc.

I also love teaching in prisons! I currently teach with the Prison Math Project, and taught previously with the Freedom Education Project of Puget Sound, both of whom are always looking for more volunteers and teachers. And if you’re at UW, check out HOPE! 🫶 🕊️ 🌻
