Personal profile

Research areas

I research "End-user Viable Information Security & Privacy Solutions". Thereby, independently of whether the end-user of a security solution is a lay-person, an admin, or a developer, the focus always lies on making security & privacy solutions viable for the target audience, i.e., taking into consideration their specific needs and skill sets.
In addition to my position at SDU, I am the coordinator and co-speaker of the “Human and Societal Factors” research group in the Helmholtz Association-funded subtopic “Engineering Secure Systems” at Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.
