Micah Sherr, Ph.D.

Most of the time, Micah Sherr is the Callahan Family Professor of Computer Science in the Computer Science Department at Georgetown University. His academic interests include censorship and censorship-resistance, electronic voting, wiretap systems, and more broadly, privacy-preserving technologies. He participated in two large-scale studies of electronic voting machine systems, and helped to disclose architectural vulnerabilities in deployed U.S. election systems. His current research examines the methods used by many nation-states to restrict access to information online, and investigates new censorship-resistance technologies aimed at evading them. Micah received his B.S.E., M.S.E., and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Pennsylvania. He is a recipient of the NSF CAREER award, and has served as co-editor-in-chief of the Proceedings on Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PoPETs) and associate chair of the IEEE Symposium on Security and Privacy.
