About me

I joined UWE in 2012 as a Senior lecturer and Programme leader for the BSc (Hons) Forensic Computing & Security course. In 2015 I was appointed as Associate Head of Department (Computer Science), and in 2023 I took on the role of Associate Director (Computer Science).

Prior to this I worked for 5 years as a Digital Forensics Specialist for a company in London, where I was involved in the forensic examination of various criminal cases including child abuse, rape, harassment, fraud, murder, drugs, theft and forgery. This role involved giving expert evidence in court.

I have been involved in digital forensics since 2001; I led the development of the first European post-graduate course in forensic computing at Cranfield University and was a founder member of the Centre for Forensic Computing. In 2002 I was appointed academic leader of the Forensic Computing programme at Cranfield University and lectured on this programme from its start in March 2002 until 2007, supervising both MSc and PhD students.

I started my career in 1986 teaching Mathematics at Pates Grammar School in Cheltenham. In 1988, I was sponsored by the Civil Aviation Authority to research the use of mathematics in specifying the software requirements for air traffic control systems, concentrating upon the formal specification of the software requirements for a short-term conflict alert system for the London Air Traffic Control system. I successfully gained my doctorate from The Royal Military College of Science (Cranfield Institute of Technology) in 1993, and accepted a position on the academic staff at the Institute. This role led to research and lecturing interests in the fields of software engineering, requirements engineering and emerging technologies.
