Our team tackles important privacy and security challenges by applying their background in Computer Science and Psychology. Most of our work focuses on the intersection between human behavior and technical security, including computer security, privacy, and human-computer interaction (HCI). We are particularly interested in end-user behavior with a strong focus on user authentication and privacy controls. We mainly use empirical methods, either quantitatively or qualitatively, and usually conduct highly interdisciplinary work. This often includes online and in-lab studies with prototypes, surveys, and interviews.
