My research is driven by a commitment to advancing user-centered technologies that enhance interaction, accessibility, and security in digital environments. I am particularly interested in interdisciplinary approaches such as bridge design, computing, and human behavior. My research interests include:

  • Human Computer Interaction
  • User Interface Design (UI)
  • Usable Security
  • Human-Centered AI
  • Mobile Technology
  • Mobile Health Applications
  • Web Technologies
  • Cloud Computing
  • Higher Education Technologies
