Year 4 Student – 2020 Intake – Cohort 2 I have a background in Cyber Security, International Affairs and Strategic studies and also Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering. This has helped morph my whole of systems thinking approach to cyber security in which I consider both social and technical perspectives as well as associated interdisciplinary dependencies in analyzing cyber security issues. My current research interest is in Developer Centered Privacy and associated complexities in software design. I also have a fascination for privacy and security as it pertains to surveillance and IoT, smartphone privacy configurations (iOS and Android), mobile app development, privacy compliance and policy/standard regulatory framework with regards to privacy in software design and cognitive mental model development. I do have experience in usability studies. |

Developer Centered Privacy: A framework to support software developers in implementing privacy features Developers need to incorporate a range of privacy features in their application to support users in protecting their personal information and also to comply with a range of data protection regulations. However, little is understood about the struggles developers face in incorporating these privacy artifacts into software design. This research will investigate developers’ struggles and seek to understand how these challenges manifests during development tasks and how they deal with them. It will further examine developers’ mental models of privacy and regulatory compliance when it comes to implementing various regulatory standards. Based on these insights, this work will develop and propose a framework to support developers in incorporating privacy into software systems. The framework (i.e. guidance, tools, methods) will also support developers in making better privacy conscious decisions based on informed interpretation of privacy regulations while ensuring that this does not lead to significant overhead or divergence from their objectives in delivering the core functionality of the software system at hand.
