Hi there!

Welcome to my website! My name is Zach, and I am currently an Information Science PhD student at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, where I research Human-Centered Cybersecurity in the Wisconsin Humans in Security & Privacy Research (WHiSPR) Lab, advised by Dr. Rick Wash in the Information School.

In my free time, I enjoy skiing, and long distance road cycling—I once rode my bike 100 miles in one day. In addition, I like to make things by sewing, using my embroidery machine, and crocheting.

I am always happy to talk, so do not hesitate to email me and/or follow me on social media! 😁👋
