Interests

There is growing evidence that many software systems are not designed for the people who use them, the goals they need to achieve, the tasks they need to perform, and the environments these systems are situated in.

My research examines how the design of secure and usable software systems can be better supported with design techniques and tools.  My doctoral research led to the design of the IRIS (Integrating Requirements and Information Security) design framework, and accompanying CAIRIS (Computer Aided Integration of Requirements and Information Security) software tool.

I am also interested in understanding how entrepreneurship and innovation theories can be used to inform the design of security.

Biography

I am a post-doctoral researcher at the Department of Computer Science, having recently completed my DPhil in Computer Science here at Oxford.  Before this, I was a software engineer within Logica's Space business.
