Biography
Kelly Wang is a doctoral student in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, based in Boston. They are advised by Ada Lerner.
Wang’s research focuses on how marginalized communities experience privacy and trust when interacting with technology and the internet. In addition to their interest in supporting the formation of trusting communities and interpersonal relationships among marginalized users while balancing privacy and safety concerns, Wang is also curious about design futuring — using futures to provoke reflection on current ethical, political, and social concerns.
Wang contributed to numerous research projects before joining Khoury College, including an interview study to understand last-mile and mesoscale commodity transfer data in food–energy–water supply chain networks, a survey and interview study on a new privacy narratives tool, and a queer human–computer interaction (HCI) literature review. Since beginning their doctorate in 2023, they have also published “Counting Carrds: Investigating Personal Disclosure and Boundary Management in Transformative Fandom” at the prestigious CHI 2024 conference. Wang particularly enjoys reading other researchers’ work in conversation with their own to better understand how HCI scholars can make a positive impact.
