Biography

I am a Research Fellow in Human-Computer Interaction in the domain of Usable Security and Privacy. In my current research, I use both quantitative and qualitative methods to explore how people can be more secure and private when online. I am also interested in using eye-tracking technology to understand how users interact with user interfaces and security measures. 

Before, I looked at how people can be more aware of, manage, and understand their data access when wearing Everyday Augmented Reality Headsets.
