Professor Bryan H. Choi is jointly appointed with the College of Law and the Department of Computer Science and Engineering. The question that drives his research is software safety: how do we make software safer for ordinary people?

He has also written extensively on data privacy, particularly on issues involving digital identity and online anonymity.
Prior to joining Ohio State, Professor Choi was a Faculty Fellow at the Center for Technology, Innovation and Competition (CTIC) at the University of Pennsylvania Law School. Before that, he served as the Director of Law and Media at the Information Society Project (ISP) at Yale Law School.
