Biography

I am a Professional Masters Programme Project Supervisor at the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford. My research bridges the domains of artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, blockchain technologies, and post-quantum cryptography. With a strong foundation in academia and industry, my work is driven by a commitment to advancing the security and ethical deployment of emerging technologies.

I completed my Ph.D. in Information Engineering at the University of Wales, with a focus on cybersecurity risks in software supply chains. My postdoctoral research was conducted at Imperial College London, the University of Cambridge, and MIT. Before joining Oxford, I held key roles in the industry, notably as a Cybersecurity Manager at RBS and a Lead Penetration Tester for the Ministry of Defence.

Research Interests

My research focuses on the intersection of AI, cybersecurity, and emerging technologies like blockchain and quantum cryptography, particularly in developing AI-enhanced security frameworks and addressing the ethical challenges of real-world AI deployment. I also explore post-quantum cryptography and the cybersecurity and mental health risks in extended realities such as virtual and augmented reality environments.

  • AI and Cybersecurity: Developing AI-enhanced decentralised digital identity security systems and responsible AI deployment protocols.
  • Post-Quantum Cryptography: Integrating quantum-resistant cryptographic protocols in decentralised AI systems.
  • Blockchain Security: Securing digital identities through blockchain technologies.
  • Cybersecurity and Mental Health Risks in Extended Realities: Applying digital security by design for supporting mental health in virtual and augmented reality environments.

To date, I have published over 100 articles in leading journals and conferences, contributing significantly to both the theoretical and practical aspects of cybersecurity and AI. I have authored two books, with a third currently under review. Thank you for your interest in my work. For more details, please visit my Google Scholar profile.

Awards and Recognitions

In 2010, I was awarded the Prince of Wales Innovation Scholarship for my research on software supply chain cybersecurity. Link to Scholarship

In 2017, I was awarded the Fulbright Visiting Fellowship, for my collaborative research in cybersecurity at MIT and the University of Cambridge. Link to Fulbright Award
