Year 1 Student - 2026 Cohort - Cohort 8

My background is in psychology and organisational research, having studied at the University of Bath and the London School of Economics. My previous research has explored how time pressure and email load influence susceptibility to phishing attacks, and how technostress and resilience relate to working from home. I have also worked in behavioural cybersecurity research at CybSafe, contributing to research on personality and cyber-attack susceptibility, and in applied social research at SYSTRA. My PhD aims to explore how technostress, social identity and organisational practices shape secure behaviour in hybrid work environments. Taking a socio-technical approach, I aim to examine how human behaviour interacts with security technologies and organisational practices, and how security can be designed to better support users in real-world working environments. Ultimately, the research seeks to inform more effective, human-centred approaches to cybersecurity that strengthen organisational security while accounting for employee wellbeing and productivity.
