Background
- Ph.D. student in the Department of Computer Science at Purdue University, specializing in Security & Privacy.
- Advised by Dr. Z. Berkay Celik and a member of the PurSec Lab.
- Research interests lie in usable security & privacy, human-computer interaction, with a primary focus on extended reality (XR) systems.
- Investigates security and privacy risks introduced by immersive XR features such as eye gaze, hand gestures, 360° views, and haptic feedback.
- Employs user-centered mixed-method approaches (qualitative and quantitative studies) combined with system design, signal processing, computer vision, and machine learning to develop privacy-preserving solutions.
