About Me

I am a Lecturer (~Assistant Professor) at the School of Computer Science and Informatics at Cardiff University. My work focuses on the development of novel approaches towards automated cyber defence. In particular, my interest is on how to apply text mining and machine learning techniques in defence methodologies.

Previously, I was a Research Associate at Cardiff University working for the Discribe Hub and Data Innovation Accelerator projects.

🚨 Looking for PhD Students! - I am interested in supervising funded or self-funded PhD students in projects involving Large Language Model (LLM) security. Please check the relevant page in FindAPhD for more information and do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
