Cornell Tech Faculty Receive NSF Award for Intimate Partner Violence Research

Two Cornell Tech faculty recently received a 1.2 million dollar grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to continue their research examining the increasingly prominent role of digital technologies in intimate partner violence. The grant will further the collaboration between Nicola Dell (Jacobs Technion-Cornell Institute at Cornell Tech) and Tom Ristenpart (Cornell Tech), along with Karen Levy (Cornell Information Science) and Damon McCoy (NYU). The group will investigate the development of new tools, techniques, and theories to combat technology-enabled abuse, in partnership with the New York City Mayor’s Office to End Domestic and Gender-based Violence.
