معرفی
Shrirang Mare is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Western Washington University (WWU), focusing on computer security and privacy with emphasis on usable security solutions for diverse user groups including low-literate individuals, the elderly, and cross-cultural populations. His research bridges human-computer interaction and cyber-physical systems to create accessible security mechanisms for emerging technologies.
His educational background includes a PhD in Computer Science from Dartmouth College (2016), where his dissertation on seamless authentication for ubiquitous devices established his research trajectory.
Dr. Mare's research interests encompass security and privacy, human-computer interaction, and cyber-physical systems, with specialized focus on security for low-literate users and developing regions. His work consistently addresses real-world applicability through field studies in countries like India and Pakistan, examining mobile payment systems, SMS fraud, and smart home privacy challenges.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2018-2024) reveals a dominant trend in wearable-based authentication systems (wristbands for desktops/smartphones) and privacy solutions for consumer IoT, particularly smart homes. His research uniquely combines technical security mechanisms with deep user-centered design principles, often targeting underserved populations in developing regions.
