About
I studied at Bradford University, graduating in 1987 with a degree in Electrical and Electronic Engineering. I undertook postgraduate research in Semiconductor Failure Mechanisms at Loughborough University obtaining my PhD in 1993. After a postdoctoral fellowship in High Speed Networks, also at Loughborough, I became a Lecturer at Kingston University in 1997. My current research interests include Cyber Security, Computational Linguistics and Type-Token Theory.

- 1983-1987: BEng in Electrical and Electronic Engineering, Bradford University.
Domains
My research areas include cyber security, network performance and monitoring, statistics and information theory (with particular interest in type-token systems).
Specialisms
- Network performance and monitoring
- Information Theory
- Cyber Security
- Type-Token Theory
