Ruchika Agrawal

I received a B.S. from Rutgers-The State University of New Jersey, double-majoring in Computer Science and Philosophy and completing a Henry

Rutgers Thesis on the problem of ambiguity in natural language processing. After working as a web application developer, which included Java programming and system analysis, I returned to academia. I received an M.S. in Computer Science from Stanford University with a concentration in Systems.

With Prof Barbara Simons as my advisor, I became involved in several technology-related legal and policy projects, and co-founded The Stanford Student Computer and Network Privacy Project with Dr. Barbara Simons.

I currently work for EPIC (the Electronic Privacy Information Center) as an IPIOP Policy Analyst Fellow. I am working on defining a framework for privacy-enhancing technologies in response to prevalent technology-related privacy threats. I was also a non-commercial constituency representative from EPIC on ICANN's WHOIS Task Force.
