Personal Information

Currently pursuing a PhD, I explore how technology intersects withhuman experiences, focusing on how our interactions with digitalsystems influence their implementation in the real world. Myresearch aims to deepen our understanding of the impact theseinteractions have on security and privacy measures.

Outside of my academic work, you will find me reading, exploringnew places, and engaging in discussions about history and spaceover a cup of coffee or tea.
