I'm a researcher who studies the human side of cybersecurity and privacy: why people make the decisions they do, and how to design systems that actually work for them.

About

I hold a Ph.D. in Human-Centered Computing and an M.S. in Computer Science from Clemson University, an M.S. in Technical Communication from Missouri S&T, and an M.Tech. and B.Tech. in Mathematics/Computer Science from the Federal University of Technology, Minna. I hold a UX Master Certificate from Nielsen Norman Group, and am a Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) and Associate CISO (C|CISO) from EC-Council, where I also serve as a Cybersecurity Career Mentor.

My research focuses on the human, behavioral, and organizational dimensions of cybersecurity and privacy. I study how people experience, use, and are affected by technology in contexts spanning security, privacy, and offline wellbeing. My goal is to close the gap between what security and privacy technologies are designed to do and how people actually understand, use, and make decisions about them. This gap is widening as AI reshapes both the tools people use and the tools attackers use against them.

I am married to Dr. Lauretta Osho, an Assistant Professor of Early Childhood Education at Eastern New Mexico University, and we are blessed with four wonderful kids.
