Privacy Engineering Project Showcase

Students from Info 290. Introduction to Privacy Engineering present their final class projects. The course surveys privacy mechanisms applicable to systems engineering, with a particular focus on the inference threat arising due to advancements in artificial intelligence and machine learning.

This semester we have five exciting projects. Each project will get 12 minutes to present their work and then allow 3 minutes for Q&A.
