Bailey Kacsmar is an Assistant Professor at the U of A and a current PhD candidate at the University of Waterloo.

Kacsmar focuses on the importance of privacy and it's importance in a field such as AI, which often involves massive quantities of sometimes sensitive personal data.

Much of her research centres on developing and evaluating technical privacy solutions, including the limitations and potential of privacy in machine learning. Her work aims to develop privacy technology that remains human-centred: research that requires both technical solutions, as well as addressing user perception, concerns and understanding of data privacy.
