DESCRIPTION:*Abstract*:\nThe advent of the smartphone and commercially via
 ble wearable devices\nhas heralded in an era of unprecedented access to ri
 ch user data. This\nhas allowed third-party applications to innovate by su
 pporting new\ninteraction modalities\, better integrating with users' life
 styles\, and\nmaking relevant information more accessible. At the same tim
 e\, the\nabundance of personal data presents very real privacy risks. In t
 his\ntalk\, I discuss previous and ongoing research to help users make mor
 e\ninformed choices about how their personal data is accessed on ubiquitou
 s computing platforms. I present previous research on smartphone platforms
  that has provided insights into users' behaviors and preferences\, as wel
 l as how to design systems for future wearable devices that empower users 
 to make better privacy decisions.\n\n\n*Bio*:\nSerge Egelman is a research
  scientist with joint appointments in the\nInternational Computer Science 
 Institute (ICSI) and the Department of\nElectrical Engineering and Compute
 r Sciences (EECS) at the University of California\, Berkeley.  His researc
 h focuses on usable privacy and\nsecurity\, with the specific aim of bette
 r understanding how people make\ndecisions surrounding their privacy and s
 ecurity\, and then creating\nimproved interfaces that better align stated 
 preferences with outcomes.\nThis has included human subjects research on s
 ocial networking privacy\,\naccess controls\, authentication mechanisms\, 
 web browser security\nwarnings\, and privacy-enhancing technologies.  He r
 eceived his PhD from\nCarnegie Mellon University and prior to that was an 
 undergraduate at the University of Virginia.  He has also performed resear
 ch at NIST\, Brown University\, Microsoft Research\, and Xerox PARC.
