Nicolás Díaz Ferreyra Email & Phone Number

I am a senior researcher and lecturer at the Institute of Software Security of Hamburg University of Technology. My main research focus stands at the intersection of human-computer interaction and privacy engineering. Particularly, I am passionate about people's privacy practices in networked environments, their associated risks, and developing technologies to support information disclosure. For this, I analyse empirical data extracted from software repositories, conduct studies with human participants, and elaborate on machine learning models. I am especially interested in digital nudging applications for privacy and the usability of security-enhancing technologies.Before joining the Hamburg University of Technology, I worked as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Duisburg-Essen. From January 2020 to October 2021 I was the coordinator of the RTG “User-Centered Social Media” funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG). I have taken part of several European projects on privacy and securiy including PDP4E, AssureMOSS and more recently Sec4AI4Sec: Cybersecurity for AI-Augmented Systems. In the past, I have worked as a software engineer in Denmark and as an undergraduate research assistant in Argentina.Since 2023 I am an associate member of the Research Institute for Socio-Technical Cybersecurity (RISCS) at the University of Bristol. Besides conducting my research, I am involved in multi-stakeholder forums for the discussion of public policies and Internet governance issues. Particularly, in debates concerning the users' right to privacy and control over their private information.My research interests and areas of expertise are among others:• Human-computer Interaction• Software Engineering• Artificial Intelligence• Machine Learning• Privacy and Cybersecurity
