I am interested in the user experience of digital signatures. Where can digital signatures play a role? How can users make use of these signatures to add authenticity to, e.g., their documents or online posts? What do these signatures look like, do users know how to recognize or apply them, and what do users experience when they encounter a digital signature in a certain context? Can signatures increase, e.g., trust or security? During my PhD candidacy, I intend to find an answer to these kinds of questions through empirical research.

I also work at Radboud University’s new interdisciplinary research hub on security, privacy, and data governance, which is called iHub.
