Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlexander Gamero-garrido is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at UC Davis who studies the intersection of networking systems and public policy, with a particular focus on online privacy and empirical methods. He combines large-scale Internet measurements and social-science surveys to quantify surveillance capabilities—both state and commercial—and to inform U.S. Internet policy debates. His work, published in top ACM venues (including a SIGCOMM Best Paper), translates technical measurement into actionable evidence for contentious policy questions. Trained at UC San Diego (PhD) and MIT (MSc Technology and Policy), he brings a rare mix of academic rigor, industry experience at Akamai and Schlumberger, and United Nations policy exposure. Beyond research, he has a strong record of mentoring and community service, from advancing diversity in computing to shaping conference programs and reviews.
