Research Interests

Dr. Still investigates several lines of research, including developing human-centered cybersecurity design recommendations, predicting attention within e-commerce interfaces, and improving end-user cyber hygiene. My lab's goal is to contribute to theory and produce designs that make our lives easier and safer by exploiting users' natural cognitive abilities.
