Human Centred Computing at Oxford

I have been granted my leave to supplicate!

I am a Postdoctoral Research Associate (PDRA) in Secure Networking by Design at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford.

I was a doctoral student in Cyber Security at the Department of Computer Science, University of Oxford, and part of the Centre for Doctoral Training in Cyber Security, where I am advised by Prof. Ivan Flechais.

My research was supported by the Information Commissioner's Office and explored the application of user experience (UX) principles in the security and privacy design of smart homes. During my doctoral studies, I completed internships at the Calc Intelligence team at Microsoft Research and the Social Dynamics team at Nokia Bell Labs.
