Emily Stark is a core contributor to Meteor, the full-stack reactive framework for Javascript applications. Prior to joining Meteor, Emily published several research papers in the security and cryptography fields. As an undergraduate at Stanford, Emily coauthored SJCL, a JavaScript public- and private-key cryptography library that is highly optimized for speed and code size. She also developed a method for prefetching TLS certificates to enable zero-round-trip handshakes. As a graduate student at MIT, she researched techniques to automatically partition applications into trusted and untrusted environments, and explored the use of client-side cryptography to keep user data secret from the web server in an application framework.
