Milo was a PhD student in the Joint Lab and BagLab of the Complex Systems Center at the University of Vermont. Before then Milo was a graduate computer and social scientist in the Information Trust Group at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, where his research focused on network science and social networks. He applied some of this research as a systems designer with The Pursuance Project. As an undergraduate Milo concentrated on surveillance and security, and co-taught an introductory course for RPISEC, RPI’s computer security club, for three semesters. During this period he founded the Daylighting Society to collaborate on privacy, surveillance, and security work.

Sometimes he writes about himself in the third person. You can see him write more on Mastodon, Twitter, and GitHub.
