Research Group Humans, Security and Privacy
Building a resilient future
Our multidisciplinary research bridges the gap between social sciences and computer science to bring a nuanced understanding of human experiences with technology. Our objective is to foster human autonomy and control in human-technology interactions.
Our research interests are:
- Human experiences of technology, especially relating to security and privacy
- Manipulative and deceptive interactions with technology (e.g., social engineering, misinformation)
- Increasing the diversity of experiences represented in human-centered security and privacy (inclusive security)
