Adam J. Aviv is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at the George Washington University. He has broad research interests in the area of computer- and cyber-security and privacy, including topics such as network security, mobile security, applied cryptography, and usable security and privacy. Most recently, he has focused on topics surrounding human factors in security surrounding mobile devices and authentication, whereby we consider how human choice, perceptions, and actions influence the security of systems.
