I have been conducting research in Cyber Security since 2011, mainly focusing on topics such as human factors in security; cybercrime; and cyber security measures in organizational settings. I have completed Ph.D. in Information Security/Cyber Security in 2016 at the National University of Ireland Galway. During my Ph.D. studies, I have won Fulbright scholarship, which allowed me conduct my work at the University of California Berkeley for 1 year.
