Research

My research interests lie in examining the both the economics of information systems, security and privacy, as well as the organizational behaviours that lead to decisions that deviate from the rational behaviour expected in typical mathematical models. In a broader sense, I find applications in the areas of knowledge management, decision support, and behavioural operations as well as information security and privacy.

Recently, I have started studying the privacy and security implications of precision agriculture, especially issues related to data collected by the ever increasing deployment of IoT in agriculture operations. This work is supported through my participation in the IoT4Ag NSF ERC.

Research Interests

Digital Inclusion, Economics of Information Systems, Information Privacy & Security, Information Sharing, IoT for Agriculture, Data Governance, Collaboration, Behavioural Operations.
