About Me

I am a Computer Science Ph.D. student at Arizona State University, specializing in Usable Security and Privacy. My research focuses on employing social science methods of interviews and surveys to conduct qualitative studies, addressing human factors in security and privacy. I am a proud member of the Laboratory of Security Engineering for Future Computing (SEFCOM), under the guidance of Dr. Adam Doupé.
