Thanks @GoogleAI for awarding me and @yixinzouu a Google Academic Research Award. We will work to design tech for defending emerging adults from scams on platforms like TikTok where content sometimes gets a bit undeserved trust. Thanks for the support @maxplanckpress, @IITKgp.
Help us congratulate the Google Academic Research Awards (GARA) winners. The program will support 95 projects led by 143 researchers that use tech to shape a better future across the globe. Check out the inaugural GARA winners →
