PhD Scholarship for Human-Centric Software Engineering for the project investigating the effects of users' mental models in requirement engineering and design of secure systems

This PhD scholarship will fund a research project investigating the effects of users' mental models in requirement engineering and design of secure systems. The project aims to examine the influence of users' mental models on requirements engineering, design, development, and adoption of security measures. The research falls within the area of human-centric software engineering and cybersecurity, focusing on how human cognitive factors impact the development and implementation of secure systems. The scholarship provides financial support for a doctoral candidate to conduct research in this interdisciplinary field combining software engineering, human-computer interaction, and cybersecurity.
