I am currently a Lecturer in Computing at the University of Surrey. I'm affiliated with the Watermarking and Multimedia Security group, part of the Formal Methods and Security research group.

My general research interests involve Multimedia, Signal Processing, Security, and Coding (Error-Control, Compression, and Cryptography). I particularly like applications that cross the boundaries between the different fields, and have also dabbled in the application of Parallel Computing, particularly cluster and grid computing.
