(Stylised) Me!
I'm a Teaching Assistant in the School of Computer Science at the University of Birmingham. Because I'm a TA, my Ph.D. is four years long, rather than the usual three: 25% of my time is spent teaching.

I'm in the third year of my Ph.D., and my supervisor is Dr. Eike Ritter. My research is generally based on Computer Security. Specifically, I've done a fair bit of work on Electronic Voting, Digital Cash, Digital Rights Management and Fair Exchange. As well as this, I'm very interested in Usability and HCI. For more info on this, see the Research page.

I do have a life outside my thrilling University career, though - if you're interested, look at the Personal page.
