My research addresses critical challenges at the intersection of Human-Computer Interaction (HCI), Usable Security and Privacy (S&P), and Human Centered AI. I focus on identifying the privacy, security, and safety concerns of diverse sensitive populations—including children, older adults, and students—and developing solutions in three key areas:
- Supporting Digital Literacy
- Designing Family-Centered Smart Home Solutions
- Enhancing Human-AI Interactions
Drawing on interdisciplinary expertise from usable privacy, developmental psychology, and design, my work is grounded in people's lived experiences. My goal is to develop safe, transparent, inclusive, and privacy-protective solutions that inform design interventions, influence policy changes, and shape educational practices.
