Oliver D. Reithmaier@odr_k4tana@infosec.exchange
Since I'm reading a lot of intros in my feed, let me add my own.
I'm Oliver D. Reithmaier, a HCI researcher working towards my PhD at Leibniz University in Hanover, Germany. I am a Social Psychologist by training and specialized heavily on Psychology of IT Security during my Masters.
After some experience in the Infosec consulting world, I found that private business is kinda not for me (at least rn) and I wanted to do research again. So I joined the academic realm.
I work at the Usable Security and Privacy Group of Prof. Markus Dürmuth and do work about social engineering, specifically email phishing, and its mitigation strategies for large-scale orgs. I'm also interested in knowledge aspects related to cybersecurity: How accurate is self-reported knowledge, how does it translate to self-efficacy etc. Also I'm a sucker for stats and like to educate and support people in my field with anything related to that, since apparently HCI isn't too firm when it comes to that topic.
On a personal note I enjoy cooking, DIY, cocktails, writing poetry, making and spinning music, gaming, documentaries/podcasts, thinking about stuff and many more things. I just love learning, I guess.
Anyways, here's to a bright future on the elephant network. If you have any questions, wanna work with me, talk or tease, hit me up!
I am looking forward to your message!
I will post in English, German and (rarely) Japanese. German and Japanese posts are usually locally focused in their respective nations (politics, culture, business). If that is not relevant to you, you can mute those languages in Mastodon preferences (Preferences -> Other) so they don't show up in your timeline.
I tend to have strong opinions about topics. If that makes you uncomfortable, you can either unfollow me or (and I like this better) fire back at me with facts or counter-proposals. I enjoy a spirited discussion.
Since my family name is hard to pronounce for non-German speakers, here's the next best thing:
English: [Right - mayor]
日本語: ライトマヤ
Nederlands: Rijtmaijer
