Shawn Shan
I am a 4th-year Ph.D. student at SAND Lab, University of Chicago, co-advised by Professor Ben Y. Zhao and Professor Heather Zheng. My research focuses on providing technical solutions for people to fight back against unethical AI systems.
I am a recipient of the Forbes 30 Under 30 Award, the USENIX Internet Defense Prize, and the Chicago Innovation Award. I received my bachelor and master in computer science from University of Chicago. I spent two summers at Meta as a software engineer.
