MRES TITLE
Investigating the development of trust in online retailers
FIRST DEGREE
BA Computer Science (University of Cambridge)
MSc Human-Computer Interaction with Ergonomics (University College London)
I'M ORIGINALLY FROM...
Limassol, Cyprus
WHY I APPLIED TO THE SECURITY SCIENCE DTC
To gain a thorough understanding of security as a discipline before I move on to do research in usable security. The multidisciplinary aspect of the course will give me insights to how security problems are addressed by other disciplines, that I could then use in my own research.
RESEARCH INTERESTS
Application of principles from Psychology, Usability and Economics to the design and development of widely used security systems, aiming to improve their effectiveness and reduce the likelihood of errors.
WHAT I DO WHEN I'M NOT STUDYING
I greatly enjoy traveling and I am also interested in photography. In my free time I am trying to improve my guitar skills, I enjoy playing tennis, exercising at the gym and reading books
MY CAREER ASPIRATIONS
Work as an academic aiming to bring closer Security and Usability research, to create secure systems that can be easily used by the public without compromising their effectiveness
WHAT KIND OF PARTNER ORGANISATION I'D LIKE TO WORK WITH AND WHAT I'D LIKE FROM THEM
I am very happy to collaborate with any organisation interested in my discipline combination. I am always open to new ideas and would like to work with organisations willing to take innovative approaches to tackle current and future Computer Security challenges.
