Hi!
I am Sushmita!
I am a Human-Centered Computing PhD Candidate at Clemson University. I am advised by Dr. Bart Knijnenburg.
I research the implicit and long-term data privacy implications of AI on adolescents. My research employs learning and cognitive theories to teach adolescents about AI, and Privacy such that adolescents can make informed decisions when online.
