About
I am currently a senior lecturer in computer science at the Department of Networks and Digital Media at the School of Computer Science and Mathematics.
My research focuses on the security and privacy aspects of the Internet of Things (IoT). This includes areas such as the Internet of Bio-Nano Things, vehicular communication networks, user behaviour identification, and advancements in space systems. I was honoured to present my research findings on IoT cybersecurity at the House of Lords. Additionally, I led the IoT-Tram project, which marked the UK's first real-world cybersecurity test in transport and mobility.
