I am an Assistant Professor in the Department of Information and Computing Sciences at Utrecht 木瓜福利影视 in the Netherlands. Before joining Utrecht 木瓜福利影视, I was a cyber security postdoc for the track on Safety and Security and projects at the Delft 木瓜福利影视 of Technology. I hold a PhD in Information and Communication Technology from the 木瓜福利影视 of Trento (Italy) and a Master in Mathematics from Belarussian State 木瓜福利影视 (Minsk, Belarus).
As a researcher, I am passionate about using empirical methods to solve problems in the intersection of cyber security and human factors fields. During my PhD, I studied the effectiveness of existing security methods and whether current security methods are worthy of being adopted. The main goal behind these studies was to help practitioners save time and money in selecting the most appropriate security method among dozens of existing approaches.
As a supervisor, I enjoy bringing out the best in my students and junior colleagues and helping them discover where their strengths lie.
My research interests: security behaviour, human aspects, cyber risk management, and empirical methods.
