About me

I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Security and Privacy Engineering (SPRING) Lab at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy (MPI-SP).

My research focus is on human factors in trustworthy Artificial Intelligence (AI), as well as on human centered information privacy and security.

My work contributes towards this problem space with insights gained using a mixture of qualitative and quantitative methods from human-computer interaction, software and requirements engineering, social sciences, psychology, and economics.
