Thomas Ristenpart, an associate professor at Cornell Tech and in the Computer Science Department at Cornell University, will present the keynote address, “Mitigating Technology Abuse in Intimate Partner Violence.”

In his talk, Ristenpart will discuss how abusers exploit technology to control, harass, stalk, and otherwise harm their current or former partner. He will also discuss how his research group works with technology companies and lawmakers to affect positive changes and how they have implemented a new interventional approach, called clinical computer security. Their Clinic to End Tech Abuse works in partnership with the New York City Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender-Based Violence to help survivors navigate technology abuse and, ultimately, empower their use of technology.
