College of Engineering and Physical Sciences,

School of Computer Science,

Birmingham, U.K.

I am a Lecturer in Computer Science at the University of Birmingham, a Senior Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (SFHEA), and a GIAC Certified Forensic Examiner (GIAC GCFE, GIAC GASF). I carry out interdisciplinary research into Cyber Security, Human Factors, and Mobile and Ubiquitous Computing. I teach Computer Science, Cyber Security and Digital Forensics topics.

Previously I was a Senior Lecturer in Computer Security and Forensics at UWE Bristol and a JSPS Fellow at the National Institute of Informatics, Tokyo, Japan. In the past I worked as a Research Associate at the University College London on the project Inferring the Purpose of Network Activities managed by Dr. Gianluca Stringhini and as a Research Assistant at the University of Bristol on the projects ForToo and NIFTy under the guidance of Prof. Theo Tryfonas. I also briefly participated as a Cyber Security Research Expert at an enhanced Knowledge Transfer Partnership between the De Montfort University and Airbus aiming to research new ways of protecting critical infrastructure.
