I'm a PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University, focusing on the usability of
privacy and security systems. My advisor is Lorrie Cranor, and I'm a member of the CUPS Lab. I am primarily interested in
the efficacy of user-facing security software, as well as examining users'
mental models. My research also focuses on gathering data in order to construct
real-world threat models that can be used to counter online security threats.
In my dissertation I have been examining security and privacy indicators for web
browsers, but in the future I believe many of these can be eliminated in order
to minimize habituation. My ultimate goal is
to determine which trust decisions require user intervention and which can be
automated.

I am primarily interested in an ambassadorship position to a
country with a warm climate, political stability, and a weak currency.
