Arvind Narayanan

I’m a post-doctoral computer science researcher at Stanford and a CIS junior affiliate scholar. I study privacy from a multidisciplinary perspective focusing on the intersection between technology, law and policy.

My doctoral research exposed the problems with data anonymization. My thesis, in a sentence, is that the level of anonymity that consumers expect—and companies claim to provide—in published or outsourced databases is fundamentally unrealizable.
