I'm a Human-Computer Interaction researcher with a focus on the adoption of novel technologies and usable privacy and security. I am a Research Fellow at the University of Birmingham in the UK and an Innovation Fellow at the
Centre for Digital Citizens. I'm also a
SPRITE+ Expert Fellow. In the past, I worked at Newcastle University where I researched trust in the financial industry, and I have also collaborated with the Human Factors Excellence (
HuFEx) Research Group at Cardiff University, the Madeira Interactive Technologies Institute (M-ITI, now
ITI) in Portugal, the
Interactions Lab at UNIST in South Korea, the department of
Informatics and Telematics at Harokopio University and the Information Systems Laboratory Research Group at the
University of Athens in Greece. I hold a PhD in Human-Computer Interaction from the University of Madeira in Portugal, an MSc in Advanced Information Systems from the University of Athens in Greece and a BSc in Computer Science from the University of Leicester in the UK.
Key topics in my research include privacy, trust, security, human-centered design, computational social science, computer-mediated communication, financial technologies, and digital identities. Areas that my research has focused in the past include locative media, social network analysis, universal design and web accessibility, business entrepreneurship and employability, teleworking and e-government services.
