Oluwafemi Osho
Oluwafemi is a Yoruba word for God Loves Me (Indeed, He does!).
I have a Ph.D. in Human-Centered Computing and a master's degree in Computer Science from Clemson University, SC. I obtained a master’s degree in Technical Communication from Missouri University of Science and Technology, and a master’s degree in Mathematics and a bachelor’s degree in Mathematics/Computer Science from the Federal University of Technology, Minna. In addition, I possess a UX Master Certificate from Nielsen Norman Group (NN/G) and a Certified Ethical Hacker (C|EH) and Associate Chief Information Security Officer (C|CISO) certifications from EC-Council. I am an EC-Council Cybersecurity Career Mentor.
As a researcher, I focus on the human, behavioral, and organizational dimensions of cybersecurity and privacy. I study how people experience, use, and are affected by technology, in contexts that include security, privacy, and offline wellbeing. My goal is to close the gap between what security and privacy technologies are designed to do and how people understand, use, and make decisions about them. This gap is widening as AI and other emerging technologies reshape both the tools people use and the tools attackers use against them.
I am married to an adorable wife, Dr. Lauretta Osho, an Assistant Professor of Early Childhood Education at Eastern New Mexico University, and we are blessed with four wonderful kids.
