Research TopicUtility of Ambiguity: Alternative approach to information security and privacy
Having lived in a number of foreign countries when she was a child, Ema had always been asked who she was. These experiences inspired in her an interest in how information of “a person” is created and interpreted. After entering university, Ema came to know Science & Technology Studies (STS), a field focusing on scientific knowledge and technology in its social context. Using STS perspectives, she will investigate how ambiguous and uncertain data is filtered out in the process of visualization. Moreover, she is interested in how such information can be taken advantage of to protect privacy and security in information education, policy and ethics.
