Visiting Researchers
Xiaowei Chen
Xiaowei Chen is our visiting researcher from March to May 2024. He is a doctoral researcher working on the “Achieve Effective and Sustainable Anti-phishing Solutions” (AES anti-phishing) project, funded by the Institute for Advanced Studies at the University of Luxembourg since January 2022.
Xiaowei explores user-oriented information security solutions for organizations. He examines whether group discussion and role-playing training can be effective anti-phishing training approaches, what motivates and discourages employees from engaging with phishing interventions, and how users interact with emerging technologies. During his stay, he will survey what drives employees to respond more securely in collaboration with the Security, Privacy, and Society group. His recent two papers will appear in ACM CHI ’24 conference proceedings.
Jennifer Klütsch
Jennifer Klütsch is our visiting researcher for August and September 2023. She is a PhD-Student at the Teaching and Research Area of Work and Engineering Psychology at RWTH Aachen University since November 2021 and supports the BMBF-funded project A-DigiKomp.
Jennifer Klütsch examines users’ decision-making processes in privacy and cybersecurity. Her dissertation investigates how social and developmental benefits affect young adults’ privacy trade-offs as well as their phishing susceptibility online. During her research stay, she will examine an intervention approach towards informed privacy decisions in collaboration with the ‹Security, Privacy and Society group›.
Alina Stöver
Alina Stöver has been our visiting researcher for January and February 2023. She was a PhD-Student at the Research Training Group 2050 Privacy and Trust for Mobile at TU Darmstadt and completed her dissertation in March 2023. Coming from psychology, Alina Stöver is looking at the human factors in privacy. Her research deals with user perceptions (e.g., personal privacy assistants) and the perspective of privacy responsible parties (e.g., website owners). In her dissertation, she investigated how website owners contribute to privacy risks on websites.
Alina Stöver published in journals and conferences related to research at Privacy, such as PoPETs, Security, such as USENIX Security, and Human-Computer-Interaction, such a NordiCHI.
