Palak Jain
Palak Jain is a final-year Ph.D. candidate in the Department of Computer Science at Boston University. Their research focuses on bringing robust data protections into practice through the lenses of cryptography, differential privacy, and machine learning. Palak’s work has advanced our understanding of privacy under continual observation, characterising achievable privacy-accuracy trade-offs and leading to new algorithmic techniques for computing fundamental statistics. They have also developed a framework for reasoning about privacy of large data releases that maintains mathematical rigor while lending itself to concrete intuition and experimental evaluation.
