I authored a “year ahead” piece for Maclean’s magazine about what outages are likely to look like in 2025: More Frequent - and Disruptive - Tech Outages Are on the Way. Spoiler: I think there will be more outages in 2025 many of which will be caused by a supplier having a problem or a security failure.

I am an Associate Professor at the University of Waterloo’s Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) where I head the Technology Usability Lab in Privacy and Security (TULiPS). The goal of my research is to make security and privacy technologies more accessible for a wide range of users including end users, developers, and system administrators. I believe that technology should support people in their activities. My recent projects include topics like patch management, developer-centered privacy, phishing, online anonymity, smart speaker privacy, and privacy on social media.
