Interests
My interests are primarily in systems security and assurance. During my DPhil I investigated new ways of applying Trusted Computing and virtualization technologies to web services, and presented approaches which made remote attestation more practical for assurance. I am now involved in a project focusing on mobile and cross-platform security and privacy, with an emphasis on providing a secure (and user privacy-preserving) execution environment for mobile web applications.
My other research interests include provenance - studying tools and techniques for identifying the history of data. Combining and applying techniques from trusted computing in order to generate better and more trustworthy provenance is one of my long-term reserch goals.
Finally, I am also interested in trusted cloud infrastructures as part of the TClouds project, as well as trustworthy network architectures.
Biography
I am currently working full-time as a post-doctoral research assistant on the EU FP7 project Webinos, which involves developing a secure cross-platform execution environment for mobile web applications. I also occasionally work on the TCLOUDS project, another large FP7 EU initiative involving the development of a trusted cloud infrastructure. Both TClouds and Webinos began in autumn 2010. Between 2007 and 2010 I was studying for a DPhil with Dr Andrew Martin, on the subject of Trustworthy Web Services. I finished and submitted my final thesis in 2011.
Before coming to Oxford I completed an MEng degree in Computing at Imperial College London. Part of this degree involved a 6-month work placement at Goldman Sachs in Compliance IT.
