معرفی
Dr. Yomna Abdelrahman is a Professor of Usable Security and Privacy at the Bundeswehr University Munich. Her research focuses on thermal imaging for security and privacy, virtual reality usability, eye tracking, and biometric authentication. She collaborates with researchers like Florian Alt and Albrecht Schmidt on projects exploring how thermal sensing can enhance user identification and privacy awareness.
- Key Research Areas: Thermal Imaging, Human-Computer Interaction, Virtual Reality, Password Security, Biometric Authentication, Eye Tracking, Privacy
Her recent publications address VR emotion detection, password usability, and privacy implications of thermal imaging. She has contributed to conferences like CHI, MUM, and INTERACT, often examining security-privacy trade-offs and non-invasive biometric systems. Notably, her work on thermal attacks reveals vulnerabilities in mobile authentication through thermal residue.
She holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Stuttgart (2018), where her thesis, "Thermal Imaging for Amplifying Human Perception," laid the foundation for her later work on thermal-based interaction and cognitive load estimation. Her collaborations span diverse domains, from smart home notifications to industrial worker assistance, reflecting her interdisciplinary approach to usable security and interactive systems.
