I’m a PhD candidate advised by Michelle Mazurek in Security, Privacy, and People Lab (SP2) at the University of Maryland, College Park. I am on the job market for the 2022-2023 academic year!
My research centers around the intersection of computer security and usability with a focus on the human factors affecting software developers and security professionals. I’m interested in understanding how software developers and security professionals reason and think about security in their job roles. Specifically, I’d like to explore how current security interventions, tools, programming languages, and organizational processes fail developers and security professionals and how we can improve them. As a result of my work, I aim to provide scientifically-based recommendations for policy, education, programming language and tool changes.
