Research Fellow in Human-Computer Interaction and Usable Security and Privacy @AbertayCQ. PhD from @UofGlasgow

Dundee, Scotland
Joined July 2021
I had the pleasure of giving a guest lecture for the Human Centred Security module @UofGlasgow. I shared insights from my PhD on usable security research and the work we’re doing @AbertayCQ with industry partners. Thanks to @MKhamisHCI for the invitation!

My thesis is titled "Everyday Privacy: Exploring Data Access and Control Methods to Support Informed Privacy Decisions for Everyday Augmented Reality", which includes papers that I published at venues such as CHI, ISMAR, and NordiCHI.

I had a great time discussing my research on enhancing user privacy within augmented reality at the launch of the new centre for Realities and Immersion Glasgow at @UofGARC today. Exciting conversations about the future of immersive technology. #AR #Privacy

Last week @Melvin_Security gave a GIST talk presenting his work on protecting people’s privacy while wearing everyday AR headsets. He introduced different archetypes that make contexts private and require different levels of data collection.

Our results provide insights into privacy-invasive contexts when people want to limit and restrict their AR sensors, building towards automating permission configurations during the prolonged use of everyday AR headsets. 4/5

I had a lot of fun at #CHI2024, meeting people and presenting my paper- 'What You Experience is What We Collect: User Experience Based Fine-Grained Permissions for Everyday Augmented Reality'. The paper was also coauthored by @MarkHCI and @MKhamisHCI. #ar #xr #privacy 1/4

Our system allowed users to better understand what data an app needed, how the data would be used, and why the data was requested in the first place. Participants found that our method allowed for better-informed privacy decisions than current AR, Android, and iOS prompts. 3/4
