Research

I am a cyber security researcher investigating the resilience of different types of networks, with a focus on critical infrastructure. I am particularly interested on how geography and politics influence decisions around resilience: there are a number of different areas this covers, from the basics of how a sea between two countries means they talk to each other through a small number of cables, to the more politically-motivated impact of government-mandated controls (like censorship).

Education

Between 2018 and 2022, I completed a Masters of Engineering in Computer Science at the University of York. My undergraduate research project looked at the application of neural networks in cyber security - entitled: “Collective anomaly detection in network traffic using a recurrent neural network”, supervised by Prof Simon O’Keefe.

During my PhD, “Measuring Internet Resilience Through Enhanced Inter-AS Topology Capture”, I was based in the Cyber Security and Privacy research group in the Department of Computer Science at the University of York, co-supervised by Dr Vasileios Vasilakis and Dr Poonam Yadav. I was also a member of the SYSTRON Lab, lead by Dr Yadav, and exploring distributed systems, interoperability and network technologies. You can read more about the lab, its research and publications on its dedicated site.
