We present a new framework for designing worst-case to average-case reductions. For a large class of problems, it provides an explicit transformation of algorithms running in time T that are only correct on a small (subconstant) fraction of their inputs into algorithms running in time O(T \log T) that are correct on all inputs.

Assistive technologies help people with disabilities to adapt to a world that is not designed to accommodate them. My research aims to create the socio-technical infrastructure underpinning accessible technology and inclusive workplaces to provide opportunity, eliminate bias, and empower people with disabilities to fully engage and collaborate equitably with their non-disabled colleagues.

The tension between security and performance has become more painful in recent years. In the context of processor architecture, we are observing a large influx of new attacks that appear regularly, each exploiting a crucial performance optimization, threatening to unwind decades of architectural gains.
