About
I am an early career researcher in the field of computing, at the University of Plymouth, conducting research focusing mitigating technology misuse.
Having obtained my undergraduate degree in Computing at the University of Plymouth and subsequently continued to specialize in Cyber-Security at postgraduate level; I am currently continuing as a research student towards a PhD in Computing.
My research interests focus primarily on the impact of internet-of-things devices in situations of domestic abuse, particularly victim-survivor centric approaches to mitigating technology-facilitated abuse. Along side my research, I teach on the undergraduate and postgraduate Computer Science courses at Plymouth, with a focus on cyber security and project management.
I also have interest in educational pedagogy at the intersection of student-staff partnership and student peer-support.
