phd students
I have been involved with graduate education and training for a considerable part of my academic career. I supervised nine completed PhD theses at Royal Holloway. Between 2011 and 2013 I was the Director of Graduate Studies in the School of Mathematics and Information Security. I held the role of director of Royal Holloway’s Centre for Doctoral Training (CDT) in Cyber Security from its launch in early 2013 until my sabbatical leave in Sep 2017, and then served as its deputy director from 2018 until 2022. I was also part of the EMC of ECRYPT-NET, a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Integrated Training Network which trained 15 PhD students across institutions in Europe (2015-2019).former
