Brief biography
Since January 2003, I am a lecturer in the Information Security Group at Royal Holloway, University of London. Prior to that I worked as postdoctoral research assistant, also at Royal Holloway, on the EU 5th Framework project SHAMAN and in the Institute for Secure Telecooperation at the GMD (now part of Fraunhofer) in Darmstadt. I received a PhD from the Opera group at Cambridge Computer Laboratory in 1996.
Main research interests
My current research
interests focus on systems aspects of mobile wireless environments with a
particular emphasis on highly mobile ad hoc networks, wireless sensor networks,
and the challenges inherent in networks of swarm bots. These research interests originate with a
number of past research projects, including the EU 5th Framework
project SHAMAN (Security for Heterogeneous Access in Mobile Applications and Networks) and the Mobile VCE Core 3 research programme. In SHAMAN, I studied post-3G
mobile telecommunications systems and devised new methods for network
access. In Mobile VCE Core 3, I was
concerned with so-called Personal Distributed Environments (PDEs), distributed
networks consisting of a user’s personal devices in different areas of life,
such as the home, the office, the personal area and the car. PDEs encompass a high degree of mobility and
the RHUL work focussed on how to provide security for such systems.
Research projects
Current research projects:- Mobile VCE (Core 4), Instant Knowledge.
In the past, I've been involved in the following projects:
- Mobile VCE (Core 3), a UK collaborative programme of research in mobile telecommunications.
- SHAMAN (Security for Heterogeneous Access in Mobile Applications and Networks), an EU 5th Framework project examining security issues for post 3rd generation mobile telecommunications networks.
Teaching
- Computer Crime IY5605 optional module within the MSc in Information Security.
