Braden Crimmins

Braden Crimmins, from West Bloomfield, Michigan, is pursuing a JD with a focus on public interest law and policymaking. He graduated summa cum laude from the University of Michigan with bachelor's and master's degrees in computer science, and is pursuing a PhD in computer science concurrently with his study of law. Braden intends to use his knowledge of these disciplines to help develop norms and laws that will ensure technology’s benefits will be broadly and equitably distributed, rather than concentrated in the hands of the few. He has worked in the congressional office of Representative Ted Deutch and for the University of Michigan’s Center for Computer Security and Society, where his research uncovered vulnerabilities in existing voting systems and helped to secure U.S. elections. Braden has been named a U.S. Presidential Scholar.
