Biography
Chris Geeng is a teaching professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, based in Seattle.
Geeng teaches human–computer interaction and object-oriented programming. Both involve elements of design, and given design’s power to support or disenfranchise people, they believe it is important to teach it in ways that minimize harm. In their research, Geeng examines privacy practices and the concerns of marginalized communities — often using intersectionality as an analytical lens — then provides design and policy recommendations to better support their needs and promote equitable technologies.
Before joining Khoury College in 2024, Geeng was a postdoctoral scholar at New York University, where they co-taught one course on usable security and co-developed the syllabus for another. They have served as a member of the IEEE Security & Privacy Program Committee and as an application reader for many conferences and organizations.
