RESEARCH INTERESTS
Distributed Computing, GRID Applications, P2P, Middleware, Security, Software Engineering, System Architectures, Requirements Engineering
Over 10 years of practical experience in distributed computing with more than 40 scientific publications in computing related research. I recently led the security part of a project on virtual organisations, which is being turned into a commercial venture to support the chemical development industry. I have also received external funding (130.000 pounds sterling) in the form of case studentship to support Ph.D. students within the department. I regularly organise workshops in distributed computing related subjects with particular emphasis in dependability and security. I have written scientific reports on current state of the art with regards to certain technologies for several funding bodies within the E.U. such as the EPSRC and the IST.
WORK EXPERIENCE
Mar/2003-present Senior Research Associate on at the dept. of Computer Science, Newcastle University
Responsibilities: I am pursuing my research interests in the areas of distributed and parallel computing as well as security and dependability. I experiment and evaluate the potential of new technologies to solve practical industrial problems. At the same time I manage research staff, and supervise M.Sc. and Ph.D. students. I am also responsible for pursuing funding opportunities for the E-Science centre. I recently built a consortium of industrial partners and academics to pursue EPSRC funding to the purpose of extending our work on security for GRID applications. I have also very recently acquired a number of Ph.D. CASE studentships from various industrial bodies. I work hands on with new technologies in order to understand them and at the same time assess their potential to provide practical solutions to real world problems.
Jun/2000-Mar/03 Research Associate on DSoS (Dependable Systems of Systems) at the dept. of Software Reliability, Newcastle Univ. European IST Project
(Newcastle Univ., Vienna Univ., LAAS, INRIA, ULM Univ)
Responsibilities: Research into systems integration of largely autonomous systems. I investigated possible transactional models, fault tolerance and organisational failures due
to technical problems. As part of the post I built a large distributed Travel Agent system using Java RMI and other supporting technologies such as JSP,
XML, HTML in order to expose a web front end. The aim of the case study was to experiment with various transactional models for the Web. I was involved in
all stages of the life cycle. The overall time scale was just over 2 years and it helped me understand and view Web applications from other perspectives
namely dependability and security. The work has been published and I have been invited to give talks on structuring Web applications in
major computing conferences worldwide.
May/1998-Jun/2000 Software Engineer on Verity European IST project (5 partners from EU Universities) at Sunderland University
Responsibilities: I carried out research in the area of natural language processing, pioneered and implemented a number of linguistic tools based on C. The tools were part of a major
system designed by a European Consortium of 5 partners. The aim of the system was to revolutionise the way library systems respond to user queries by understanding
queries expressed in natural language as well as in several (E.U.) languages. I developed all the linguistic components in C as well as the Web
front end using ASP and several databases namely dictionaries and thesauri.
EDUCATION & QUALIFICATIONS
Oct/1996 - June/2000 Centre for Software Reliability (CSR) at the University of Newcastle upon Tyne.
Ph.D Computing Science
Thesis Title “Modelling Enterprise Information Systems” supervised by Prof. John Dobson
The Ph.D. was funded with a departmental EPSRC scholarship
