Career
After a year on the faculty of the University of South Florida, Professor Antón joined the faculty at North Carolina State University in 1998. There, her research and teaching interests were in software engineering (especially requirements engineering), information security, privacy and public policy. In 2012, Professor Antón left NCSU to become Chair of Georgia Tech's School of Interactive Computing.
Professor Antón is the founder and director of ThePrivacyPlace.org, a research group of students and faculty at NCSU, Georgia Tech, and Purdue University. She is leading this group in the development of technology to assist practitioners and policy makers in meeting the challenge of eliciting and expressing policies (a form of requirements). These tools help ensure that privacy policies are aligned with the software systems that they govern.
