My focus is on understanding how people’s security attitudes and social environments weigh in their decision to adopt – or not adopt – secure behaviors (such as sharing passwords securely or ignoring UX cues to scams and “fake news”). I employ a mix of qualitative and quantitative methods from social science, computer science, and design.
