PhD Students – Persuasive Technology Lab

I am a first-year Ph.D. student under the supervision of Professor Mauro Cherubini and co-supervised by Professor Kevin Huguenin in the Department of Information Systems, HEC Lausanne. My doctoral research centers on the effects of cyberbullying among marginalized communities such as young and less privileged people. I hold a Master's degree in Information Technology from University Utara Malaysia and a Bachelor’s degree in Business Information Systems from the University of East London. My Master’s thesis investigates the factors that determine the use of e-government systems in Higher Education institutions in Nigeria. I started my career as a primary school teacher (2013) and rose to the level of Assistant Lecturer from State to Federal University in Nigeria, where I tutored both undergraduate and postgraduate courses such as Management Information Systems, E-Business, and Computer Applications.
