Cynthia Dwork, a leader in data privacy research, is set to deliver three significant lectures at Cornell University. As part of the Messenger Lecture Series, her talks will explore the foundations and implications of differential privacy, highlighting its relevance to protecting consumer data across industries. The series aims to enhance understanding of how theoretical computer science can address societal challenges, particularly regarding data and its security. Dwork's work has been critical in shaping policies for protecting sensitive data, influencing practices in major companies and health institutions.
"Of Cynthia's many foundational contributions, her formulation of differential privacy has had impact far beyond what might have been originally hoped for, as it even provides insights into the nature of scientific discovery in general."
"Dwork will explore how different methods of statistical data analysis can either anonymize, restrict or protect data, using as a case example the 2010 U.S. census."
