Hi there! Welcome to visit Jingjie's non-secret base on the Internet. I am an incoming Lecturer/Asst. Prof. to the School of Informatics at University of Edinburgh. Now I am a MAD scientist (✗) PhD Candidate (✓) at University of Wisconsin-Madison. I am happy to chat and feel free to call me by JJ or 竞捷 :)
I like building things that make our lives more enjoyable and understanding human-being better. One major theme of my research is user-centric privacy, for which I design practical privacy-enhancing tools for digital technologies, particularly AR/VR and smart home.

“It’s up to the Consumer to be Smart”: Understanding the Security and Privacy Attitudes of Smart Home Users on Reddit
Jingjie Li, Kaiwen Sun, Brittany Huff, Anna Bierley, Younghyun Kim, Florian Schaub, Kassem Fawaz (IEEE S&P'23)
We reveal how smart home users on Reddit develop S&P considerations, how their attitudes evolve given the changing context, and how online discourse influences them.
Kalεido: Real-Time Privacy Control for Eye-Tracking Systems
Jingjie Li, Amrita Roy Chowdhury, Kassem Fawaz, Younghyun Kim (USENIX Sec'21)
Kalεido provides privacy for streaming eye gaze data in real-time by local differential privacy. It offers a user-facing control knob to balance between privacy and utility easily. We implement Kalεido in Unity, which acts as an tunable intermediary privacy layer for various eye-tracking systems including mixed reality.
Velody: Nonlinear Vibration Challenge-Response for Resilient User Authentication
Jingjie Li, Kassem Fawaz, Younghyun Kim (ACM CCS'19)
Velody is a biometric user authentication that leverages nonlinear vibration challenge-response. By updating the unique and unlinkable nonlinear challenge-responses used in authentication, Velody thawrts the threats from reusing/modelling static biometrics.
