Hello

I am a Senior Principal Researcher at Gen based in the AI Research Lab working on cybersafety and AI. Our aim is to do research to extend the state of the art of emerging technologies and find opportunities for new products or product enhancements. My recent work has involved artificial intelligence (LLMs), explainable AI, and decentralized identity.

Background

Previously I was a Principal Researcher at OneSpan in the Innovation Centre team based in Cambridge, UK. Before that I spent time at Atom Bank during its early days as a startup, its fund raise of just under $175million, and successful first mobile app releases. Atom featured in Marketing Week's top 100 disruptive brands in 2016. At Atom I was part of a collaborative team scoping requirements, designing business processes, technical integrations, and user interfaces to deliver a secure mobile banking app on iOS and Android.

Going back even further, I was a member of Digital Interaction research group at Newcastle University. While there I completed a PhD funded by a Microsoft Research PhD scholarship, and afterwards, worked as a postdoc at Newcastle University, and University of York. I also spent time at the Nokia Research Centre in Helsinki, Finland. And also at Microsoft Research Cambridge in UK.

Finally, for fun I created and actively maintain Rockstar Scholar, which is a Chrome browser extension that helps you track citation changes on your Google Scholar profile page.
