My research is focused on Usable Privacy and Security, incorporating qualitative and quantitative (mixed-methods) methodologies seen in behavioral economics, user-centered design, requirements engineering, machine learning, and empirical software engineering.
My thesis investigates a broad cross section of privacy and security decisions in browsers and mobile apps; systematically assessing their effectiveness and manageability, exploring standardization, discussing public policy issues, and generalizability to other domains (e.g., Internet of Things).
My work demonstrates that when the settings are well-aligned with people's mental models, machine learning can leverage the predictive power in models of more complex settings to help people manage their preferences more easily.
This can effectively mitigate trade-offs between accuracy and increased user burden as settings proliferate.

My work demonstrated that well-aligned settings with users' mental models allowed machine learning to leverage the predictive power of complex settings.
This, in turn, helped people manage their preferences more easily. This approach effectively mitigated the trade-offs between accuracy and increased user burden as settings became more numerous.
