The Oh Research

Welcome to The Oh Lab!! Where complex technology becomes clear, intuitive, and usable.

Our mission is to build a future where the interconnected world is safe, private, and accessible to everyone. We operate at the critical intersection of the Internet of Things (IoT), security and privacy, and HCI accessibility.

We believe that true usability is impossible without trust, and true security is impossible without accessible design. Our research creates and evaluates systems that empower all users, protect their data, and ensure that as our world becomes more connected, it also becomes more inclusive.

Our work integrates human-centered design with robust engineering in three core areas:

Internet of Things (IoT) & Connected Systems: Investigating the human-factors of complex systems in domains like smart homes, connected health, and vehicular networks, ensuring they are safe, reliable, and controllable.

Security & Privacy: Creating usable security mechanisms, privacy-enhancing technologies, and inclusive authentication methods that protect users without imposing an undue burden.

HCI & Accessibility: Designing interactive systems, assistive technologies, and adaptive interfaces that are intuitive and empowering for people of all abilities.
