Research Assistant in Cybersecurity -- Department of Computer Science, The University of Oxford (UK) [2011-Present] &
Research Fellow -- Department of Psychology, The University of Warwick (UK) [2011-Present]
Currently, I have two roles, a Research Assistant in Cybersecurity in Oxford's Computer Science Department and a Research Fellow (and affiliate member in the Centre for Cognitive
and Neural Systems (CCNS)) in Warwick's Psychology Department. Both of these roles
directly support the research in the EPSRC-and TSB-funded TEASE (Trust Enabling Augmented-Reality Support for Information-Environments)
project. This project researches the delivery of information-provenance and integrity
support for use in information mash-ups through the design of augmented-reality
overlays. These overlays are to be optimised for human cognition (perception, reasoning
and decision-making), in order to facilitate understanding and build trust.
Professionally, there are many fields in which I have research interests. These
include, Information Security, Trust, Risk Management, E-Business and E-Commerce
services, Service-Oriented Architectures (SOA) and Web services' use in business,
Web application/systems design and development, Human aspects in Security (HCISec,
HCI-S), Security Usability, Cognitive Science (particularly in terms of risk, risk
perception and decision-making) and Augmented Reality. I also have interest in e-Learning,
particularly as it relates to SOAs. To accommodate and further some of the interests
above, I serve on the programme committees for the International Conference on Internet
and Web Applications and Services (ICIW) and International Conference on Internet
Monitoring and Protection (ICIMP).
