About me

I am a usable security and privacy researcher, currently pursuing my PhD at Paderborn University in Germany. My work focuses mainly on the usability of digital identity wallets.

What fascinates me is the way we, both as individuals and as a society, interact with technology. How can we design systems that everyone can use to protect their (online) security and privacy? How can we help people make better decisions when it comes to privacy and security? These are the types of questions my work tries to answer.

Besides research, I assist with teaching in several courses on privacy, security, and HCI, and do some (mostly web-) development.
