Overview
Profile summary
I am currently an associate professor in cybersecurity and researching maritime cybersecurity around ship IT/OT/IoT security, port security, autonomous vessels, and offshore structures (e.g. renewable energy). I still continue to do some research on smartphone security through my master students. I'm also seconded to the Alan Turing Institite as the theme lead for Marine and Maritime.
Professional memberships
Fellow of The Higher Education Academy (PGCAP/PDAP 2019)
Supervised research degrees
Currently supervising 7 Research Fellows / Research Asssistants across four projects, and seven PhD students (2 international). As of 2022, 3 RF/RAs have moved on to new and exciting opportunities. I've had three visiting researchers from China, Turkey, and Norway, and I've hosted summer work experience stays and micro-interns.
