My current research interests can be classified into three broad categories: the design and development of middleware to support large-scale secure data sharing (with Ghita Kouadri Mostefaoui, Xiaqoi Ma, David Power, Douglas Russell, Mark Slaymaker, and Graeme Wilson); the development of novel approaches to authorisation for use in such environments (with Mila Katzarova, David Power, Douglas Russell, Clint Sieunarine, and Mark Slaymaker); and the use of formal description techniques to reason about security and data aspects of systems in which our software is being, or can be, deployed (with Sarah Fernando, David Power, Clint Sieunarine, Mark Slaymaker, and Nicolas Wu).
