Biography

A Cyber Security PhD Research Scholar under the Faculty of Science and Technology at Bournemouth University. My research interests consider the areas of Security by Design, Safety Engineering, and Human Computer Interaction for rail infrastructure design and evaluation.

Research

The aim of my doctoral research project in collaboration with Ricardo Rail, is to develop a tool-supported design framework for integrating Safety, Security, and Human Factors engineering process-techniques for designing and evaluating rail infrastructure systems.
