  • Smart, useful, scary, creepy: perceptions of online behavioral advertising (202 citations)
  • How does your password measure up? the effect of strength meters on password creation (181 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Internet privacy, Password, Computer security, Password strength and Usability. His work deals with themes such as Social media and World Wide Web, which intersect with Internet privacy. His Password research incorporates themes from Artificial neural network, Key and Data breach.

His work in the fields of Computer security, such as Authentication, Access control and Passphrase, intersects with other areas such as USable. His study on Cognitive password and Password cracking is often connected to Structure and Variance as part of broader study in Password strength. His studies in Usability integrate themes in fields like Multimedia and Opt-out.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Internet privacy (47.89%)
  • Password (32.39%)
  • Computer security (29.58%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2018-2021)?

  • Internet privacy (47.89%)
  • Debugging (4.23%)
  • Human–computer interaction (8.45%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

Blase Ur spends much of his time researching Internet privacy, Debugging, Human–computer interaction, Artificial intelligence and Password. The various areas that Blase Ur examines in his Internet privacy study include Digital security, Hacker and Personally identifiable information. His Debugging research integrates issues from User interface, Control flow, Syntax and Programming paradigm.

Blase Ur regularly links together related areas like Usability in his Syntax studies. His research in Artificial intelligence focuses on subjects like Machine learning, which are connected to Property. His work on Password deals in particular with Password strength and Password cracking.

Between 2018 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • AutoTap: synthesizing and repairing trigger-action programs using LTL properties (17 citations)
  • How Users Interpret Bugs in Trigger-Action Programming (16 citations)
  • An empirical study on the perceived fairness of realistic, imperfect machine learning models (13 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • The Internet
  • Artificial intelligence
  • Computer security

His primary scientific interests are in Program synthesis, Programming paradigm, Debugging, Control flow and Trigger action programming. His Program synthesis research spans across into areas like Simple and Action. His studies link Human–computer interaction with Programming paradigm.
