I’m Roy Rinberg. I’m interested in public-interest technology - most recently, I’m interested in privacy technology. I’m a Harvard PhD student, advised by Professor Seth Neel and Professor Salil Vadhan on “Trustworthy” Machine Learning.

Being helpful

I enjoy communicating my work and talking with individuals who want to learn more about computer science research and academia. As someone who pivoted from industry to academia, I’m particularly sympathetic to the difficulties in such a transition; so especially if you’re in industry and trying to enter academia, please don’t hesitate to reach out.

I also help young Ukrainian students applying to universities, with MentorUkraine.

Communities/groups I have been a part of

Writing:

I’m a big proponent of learning in public. I sometimes write about public-interest tech and privacy on substack or Medium.

My hobbies:

  2. I’d like to write more, so… writing!
  3. Drone Photography
  4. Frisbee Climbing Triathloning
  5. Collecting a list of how organizations advertise privacy (if you have more, please send them to me!)
