Here we are, once again, on a summer program with the Distributed Mentor Project (DMP). As you may recall, the DMP is funded by the Women's branch of the Computing Research Association (CRA-W). This year I am working at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, PA.
| My Mini Biography | Snapshot of My Mentor |
| My name is Kelli Bacon and I have just completed my junior year at Gonzaga University in Spokane, WA. I plan to graduate May 2008 with my B.S. in Computer Science from Gonzaga's School of Engineering. I can be reached at kbacon@gonzaga.edu | I'll be working with Dr. Lorrie Cranor of Carnegie Mellon University. She is in the School of Computer Science, but specifically works with the "Institute for Software Research" and "Engineering & Public Policy". Her area of research is Usable Privacy and Security. You should check out all of her cool stuff at lorrie.cranor.org . |
During my ten week stay at CMU, I'll be adding features to CUPS lab Policy Visualization Tools as well as conducting a user study on the relative importance of notification popups for an aspect of the Policy Visualization Tools.
