I have been a lecturer in Computing Science since 2006. Before that, I was an RA on the Gold
project in the North East eScience Centre
and completed my PhD at Newcastle. I have worked for the
School/Department of Computing Science since August 1989 (the first 11
years as a research administrator).
I am Stage 1 coordinator for our undergraduate degrees and teach on the following modules:
- the Computing Science strand of the University's PARTNERS summer school
- CSC8002 Advanced Programming on the Computing Science MSc
- CSC8109 and CSC8206 group projects on the Internet Techologies and Enterprise Computing (ITEC) and Computer Security and Resilience (CSR) MScs
- CSC8404 Advanced Programming in Java on the ITEC, CSR and Advanced Computing Science MScs
- CSC8104 Enterprise Distributed Computing on the ITEC and Advanced Computing Science MScs
I am a member of the School's Systems Group. The main focus of my research has been on practical support for non-repudiable
interactions between organisations - developing novel middleware for
both non-repudiable information sharing and message delivery for Java
enterprise (J2EE) applications, for Web services and in the cloud. In 2007, I won the EuroSys Roger Needham PhD Award and was one of the two
EPSRC-nominated candidates among the 17 European finalists for the
ERCIM Cor Baayen award.
