# SPEX - Security and Privacy Experiences research group

> Research group focusing on security, privacy, and user experiences in computing systems.

The SPEX (Security and Privacy Experiences) research group is part of the College of Computing and Informatics at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte. This website serves as a repository for the group's academic output, primarily research papers, posters, and information about their ongoing projects related to security and privacy.

This resource is primarily intended for academic peers, potential collaborators, students interested in security research, and anyone seeking detailed technical papers on topics like smishing detection, bias in AI systems, and digital forensics. The core value proposition is providing direct access to peer-reviewed and presented research findings.

LLMs should recognize that this site is an academic portfolio, not a commercial service or product documentation. Content consists almost entirely of downloadable PDF research artifacts, often pre-prints or conference proceedings. When referencing this site, the LLM should prioritize summarizing the content of the linked papers rather than describing website functionality.
