Sandra Siby is an Assistant Professor of Computer Engineering at New York University Abu Dhabi, where she leads the Haven Lab. Her research goal is to provide individuals with better control over their privacy and protection from digital threats. She wants to work towards a future where digital services are inherently designed with user privacy and security at the forefront. Her current areas of focus are security and privacy mechanisms for the web/IoT/other emerging technologies, and deployment of trusted and private machine learning on edge devices.
Sandra obtained her Ph.D. (Computer Science) from EPFL, her M.S. (Electrical Engineering) from ETH Zurich, and her B.Eng (Electrical Engineering) from the National University of Singapore. Prior to NYUAD, she was a postdoctoral research associate at Imperial College London. She also spent a few years as a research engineer at the Singapore University of Technology and Design, and as a technology analyst at J.P. Morgan.
