Borče Stojkovski

Borce is currently pursuing a PhD in “Socio-Technical Security and Privacy for System Protection”, funded by the Luxembourg National Research Fund (FNR) under the PRIDE grant scheme. In addition to being a core member of the IRiSC Lab, Borce is also an adjunct member of the HCI team and part of the Doctoral Training Unit Security and Privacy for System Protection (SP2).

Borce received a double EIT Digital Master’s degree in 2015 from the University of Twente and the University of Paris-Sud (Paris XI) with a major in Human-Computer Interaction & Design, and a minor in Innovation & Entrepreneurship. He earned a BSc in Software & Information Engineering from the Vienna University of Technology.

Prior to joining the University of Luxembourg, Borce worked as an independent consultant and was the CEO of Kavensis, a family-run business.

Research Interests

Borce is motivated to bridge the gap between the fields of computer security and HCI in general, and investigate the role of User Experience (UX) in the context of socio-technical security and privacy, in particular. His work revolves around:

• understanding the impact of UX in security-critical systems (e.g. end-to-end e-mail encryption)
• identifying security and privacy vulnerabilities in such systems on socio-technical levels that may be linked to UX
• (re-)designing systems to have an improved UX and/or socio-technical security properties
