Investigating how digital technologies impact users' mental and physical health, and developing tools to promote healthier digital habits and self-control in our connected world.
Studying dark patterns and deceptive interface strategies, their impact on user autonomy, and design approaches to identify, measure, and mitigate them.
Earlier work explored how non-programmers can create, modify, and debug interactive behaviors through intuitive end-user tools and interfaces.
