Undergraduate and high-school students showed off their Summer 2025 projects at last Friday's poster sessions. Research included a test of chatbot styles for countering SMS phishing, and an analysis of survey data about AI perceptions. https://www.facebook.com/share/1BRfXL9ZDV/?mibextid=wwXIfr

These students were sponsored by UNC Charlotte's Office of Undergraduate Research and Center for STEM Education, the NSF Research Experiences for Undergraduates program, and the Army Educational Opportunities Program.

Our lab had two posters at this year’s Summer Research Symposium for undergraduates! Jabou Jallow and Nishka Mathew helped us better understand security and privacy concerns for educational migrants, and Toya Okey-Nwamara, how to improve usability of digital forensics tools.

Very pleased to be presenting a poster and short paper at #CHI2024. This framework adds structure to the literature on social cybersecurity and summarizes findings from an interview study. I'll be there all week if you want to chat! https://blog.corifaklaris.com/2024/05/06/a-framework-for-reasoning-about-social-influences-on-security-and-privacy-adoption-new-for-chi-2024/

Precog Research Group @ IIIT-Hyderabad

'Precog is a group of researchers who build technologies to characterize and predict acts of crime (computer, cyber), and to develop an early warning system that could help policy analysis and law enforcement agencies. We are also interested in building security and privacy systems that are usable, in particular, we focus on systems in the Indian context. Our work derives techniques from Computer Science, Information Technology, Data Mining, Text Mining, Statistics, Social Science, Public Policy, Human Computer Interaction, and Psychology.
