SHORT BIO
Joshua A. Kroll is an Assistant Professor of Computer Science at the Naval Postgraduate School, studying the relationship between governance, public policy, and computer systems. His research focuses on building software-driven automation which is trustworthy, even as it integrates with humans, organizations, and society, and how to make such systems satisfy norms such as laws and ethics. Joshua helped to create and remains an active participant in and organizer of the ACM Conference on Fairness, Accountability, and Transparency. Joshua's previous work spans accountable algorithms, cryptography, software security, formal methods, Bitcoin, and the technical aspects of cybersecurity policy. He also spent two years working on cryptography and internet security at the web performance and security company Cloudflare. Joshua holds a PhD in computer science from Princeton University, where he received the National Science Foundation Graduate Research Fellowship in 2011. Prior to that, he received his bachelor's degree in Physics and Mathematics at Harvard College in Cambridge, MA.
