Meet the people who make up STEM Faculty.
I am a full-time member of the Open University. My main role is a staff tutor & lecturer in cyber security and computer networks in the school of computing and communications in the STEM faculty.
My personal interests include windsurfing, surfing and paddle-boarding around Cornwall, when the weather permits.
I studied for an MSc in advanced Networking with the OU in 2012 and completed a dissertation investigating Denial of Service (DoS) issues faced by UK SMEs. My PhD focused on low volume, slow DoS attacks on time sensitive IoT systems and how intrusion detection in these resource constrained systems can be improved.
I am also the module chair for T829 – Enterprise Networking which is aligned to the PG cert in advanced Networking. I also Chair a level 1 module TM129 - Technologies in Practice, covering Network, security, operating systems, along with IoT (Internet of Things) and robitic automation. My teaching commitments with the OU are with TM257 and TM357 including networking, Cybersecurity and IoT .
I am currently an academic reviewer for South West College (NI) for the BSc (top up) computing degree and the FdSc in Cyber security.
