Over the past 15 years, she has been researching the human-centred aspects of security, privacy, identity and trust. Research interests: how we design and implement innovative technologies that are fit for purpose, value for money, and improve productivity and well-being of individuals and society. Angela's full research portrait can be found here: http://sec.cs.ucl.ac.uk/ace_csr/members/angelas_research_portrait/

Angela discusses some fascinating topics with us based on research she has done into things like:

Analyzing employee behaviors for security environments...
The use of positive reinforcement over shame and fear....
How to make usable security...
How to enforce security policies....
And how all this fits into her being a psychologist?

All of her research can be found here: http://sec.cs.ucl.ac.uk/people/m_angela_sasse/angelas_publication_list/
