Louise Barkhuus focuses her research on privacy practices in relation to mobile technologies by people in a wide set of user situations, from health informatics to location sharing among young adults. She particularly looks at how digital interactions affect people's sense of privacy. Using qualitative studies and quantitative analysis to unpack socio-technical problems, her research contributes to a better understanding on how to design privacy sensitive technologies.

Research
Barkhuus’ current research focus on location-based services, in particular location sharing among individuals. More broadly she follows these research themes:
· Location sharing among young adults
· AI mediated information privacy
· Privacy practices in health tracking
· Design of usable and privacy sensitive applications
The aim of these research endeavors is to provide a deeper understanding of potential consequences and future directions of sociotechnical systems, particularly used in consumer and mobile contexts.
