Personal profile
Biography
Paul joined Aston University as a senior lecturer in Computer Science in April 2019. After completing a PhD at Lancaster University in 2004 he undertook postdoctoral research positions at both Lancaster University and Katholieke Universiteit Leuven where his research focused on complex distributed systems and interoperability. He subsequently joined IT Innovation, an applied research centre in Southampton where he worked as an engineer and project manager on industry-led research projects. There he worked on projects to secure pan-european distributed infrastructures, and develop commercial privacy-as-a-service technologies.
Research Interests
Paul's research concentrates on the engineering of complex distributed systems. His research has centered on the development of next generation middleware technologies to automatically handle such problems as interoperability and heterogeneous communication networks. He pioneered early solutions in the field of dynamic interoperability; and received funding under the H2020 FIESTA-IoT project to develop automated interoperability testing of IoT and Cloud systems. His current research focuses on the engineering of secure systems. He has developed privacy modelling solutions of data-centred online services to dynamically identify privacy risks. He is also interested in the development of runtime solutions to perform security and privacy risk assesment and mitigation in deployed systems.
