I work as a lecturer:

• University of Bristol
• Faculty of Engineering
• School of Computer Science
• Cryptography Group

See also:

• UKRI Gateway to Research (née EPSRC Grants on the Web (GoW))
• Research Institute in Secure Hardware and Embedded Systems (RISE) (see, e.g., the SCARV project)

My teaching and research interests focus on computer (and systems) engineering, and, specifically, applications in cryptographic engineering and/or applied cryptography. In the main, this means the design and implementation (in hardware and/or software) of, and implementation attacks (relating to both side-channel and fault induction attacks) on cryptographic primitives and arithmetic. I am also interested in the design of (general-purpose) processors, compilers, and programming languages. My previous work in these fields has included

• implementation using novel processors and/or hardware (e.g., implementation of RSA on GPU-based, multi-core, and SIMD-enabled platforms),
• novel implementation attacks and countermeasures (e.g., non-deterministic processor designs, attacks using cache memory as a side-channel).
• domain specific compiler and programming language support for cryptography (e.g., optimisation of AES, automatic side-channel countermeasures for ECC).
