Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolBenjamin Kaiser is a research-focused computer scientist and PhD candidate at Princeton University with 13 years of experience studying security, privacy, and disinformation through a human-centered lens. He blends academic rigor from the Center for Information Technology Policy with applied consulting at DuckDuckGo and prior cryptographic systems work for Department of Defense sponsors at MIT Lincoln Laboratory. His technical background spans decentralized cryptographic access control, formal verification, and applied privacy interventions, with hands-on experience building production and research software from Python/Django apps to encrypted-database plugins. Benjamin’s work emphasizes usability and behavioral outcomes—connecting technical defenses to how real users perceive and respond to them—which often reveals practical trade-offs not obvious from purely technical analyses. Based in New Jersey, he brings a rare combination of deep systems security expertise and user-centered research methodology.
