I have recently competed my PhD in human factors psychology at Old Dominion University, where I focused on the human side of cyber security. I performed applied and cognitive research about authentication. I am an expert in the domain of graphical authentication, and my knowledge of research methodology and user experience testing can be applied to other domains. I received my master’s degree from San Jose State University in experimental and research psychology where I also studied in a human factors lab. While earning my PhD, I gained industry experience at Trend Micro, NASA, and Google.
