-I obtained my Doctor of Engineering (Dr.-Ing., Ph.D. equivalent) from Technical University of Berlin in 2017 with a thesis on the user experience with security and privacy mechanisms on smartphones. From 2013 to 2017, I was employed at Technical University of Berlin as a researcher at the [[https://www.qu.tu-berlin.de/|Quality and Usability Lab]] which was also part of [[https://laboratories.telekom.com/#about-us|Telekom Innovation Labs]]. During this time, I was also a fellow of [[https://www.softwarecampus.de/en/program/|Software Campus]], a professional development program for future IT executives. +I obtained my Doctor of Engineering (Dr.-Ing., Ph.D. equivalent) from Technical University of Berlin in 2017 with a thesis on the user experience with security and privacy mechanisms on smartphones.

-Experiences are small episodes in our everyday life that help us to learn and make sense of the world. They usually go along with intense emotions - shaping us, our opinions, and our relationships with others.  +Experiences are episodes in our everyday life that help us to learn and make sense of the world.

 +My main interest is to understand users' and developers' experiences with security and privacy mechanisms.
 +A focus of my work has been on smartphone security. Together with colleagues from TU Berlin and Ben Gurion University, Israel, we have investigated how users generally feel about smartphone security and privacy (see our [[http://www.ieee-security.org/TC/SPW2015/MoST/papers/s1p2.pdf|paper]], published at MoST 2015). To further understand what motivates users to deploy security and privacy mechanisms on their smartphone, we have investigated how psychological needs motivate usage and shape experiences (see our [[https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214212616302708|article]], published in the Journal of Information Security and Applications, 2017). Together with colleagues from TU Berlin, Ulm University, and University of Michigan, we've further explored how Emoji-based mobile authentication performs in the wild (see our [[https://www.qu.tu-berlin.de/fileadmin/fg41/publications/kraus_2017_on-the-use-of-emojis-in-mobile-authentication.pdf|paper]], published at IFIP SEC 2017; a short summary of the paper is also available in the [[https://theconversation.com/why-emojis-might-be-your-next-password-76973|Conversation]]). A survey about user experience in authentication research is also provided in our PQS 2016 [[https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Jan_Niklas_Voigt-Antons/publication/307168305_User_Experience_in_Authentication_Research_A_Survey/links/59229ac1aca27295a8a654db/User-Experience-in-Authentication-Research-A-Survey.pdf|paper]]. 
  
 +I'm working with [[https://crocs.fi.muni.cz/people/mukrop|Martin Ukrop]] on investigating the usability of cryptographic APIs, thus exploring IT professionals as a user group. Besides that, we're building a tool for the automatic collection of browser warnings (see projects on the left). I'm further supervising a user research project on online account security and fallback authentication (updates will follow soon).
