His research focuses on human-centered approaches to cybersecurity, particularly through three key domains:
- Human-Computer Interaction - Investigating design decisions that influence user behavior in digital security contexts
- Extended Reality Applications - Developing immersive training systems for phishing prevention
- Usability Engineering - Creating intuitive security interfaces with explainable AI components
Recent publications highlight his work at the intersection of autonomous motivation theory and personalized cybersecurity training, with notable presentations at top venues including CHI 2025 and SOUPS 2024. His research aims to transform security from a restrictive framework into a collaborative partnership between users and digital systems, as emphasized in his award-winning work on human-centered cybersecurity.
