Angela Borchert is an doctoral candidate and moreover she is part of the research training group "User-Centred Social Media" in which she follows her research interests in computer science and psychology.

Her work focuses on the issue of trust in the domain of sharing economy and online dating. In this context, she aims to decrease risks that are associated with the online and offline interaction of users. Her objective is to enable a safer use of such applications by conducting qualitative and quantitative research as well as respecting those findings within the software development lifecycle. To this end, she considers subject-specific concerns and how users assess the trustworthiness of parties to interact with. Based on that, she strives for building user-centred systems for which she particularly investigates in personality traits, attitudes and gender.
