Research strategy
My passion is to work with people who share my interest in blue-sky research and in transferring knowledge and tools from foundations into application domains.
The strategic and long-term aim of my security research is to develop and invent foundations for security engineering that incorporate models of systems and users as an integral part of system development, validation, and deployment.
At present, I study approaches to access control that are rooted in social relationships, as well as the security and compliance of process-aware information systems.
