My research specialization is not in machine learning or artificial intelligence; while I am interested in security and privacy issues in this area, I am not well suited to supervise applicants with solely ML & AI interests. Follow the instructions on my website: dettanym.github.io [6/6]

As I settle in to Calgary, I am looking to hire one MSc and one PhD student to start in Fall 2026. These positions are fully-funded. My research is at the intersection of privacy-enhancing technologies (PETs) and software engineering, with an emphasis on human-centered approaches. [1/6]
