How much does your smartphone know about you — even when it's turned off? Under the guidance of CSAIL Principal Investigator Hal Abelson, the Class of 1922 Professor in the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science, CSAIL graduate students Fuming Shih and Frances Zhang are investigating how much certain smartphone applications know about users.
