Department of Computer Science and Technology

  • Research Associate, Security
  • Doctoral Student, Systems and Networking
  • This person is no longer active in the department.

I am under construction, putting the finishing touches to my doctoral thesis titled "Obstacles to Wearable Computing".

Do you own an item of wearable technology? Are you wearing it now? Me neither. What's to be done about that? Watch this space for an edge-of-your-seat adventure in answering these and many more exciting research questions.

In the meantime, please enjoy my COVID briefings here and here

The director's cut of briefing #8 is on Light Blue Touchpaper

The complete series of COVID briefings by my brilliant colleagues is here.
