About Me
Now I am a third-year PhD student at the University of Birmingham (UoB), where I am fortunate to be co-supervised by Dr. Pascal Berrang and Prof. Mark Dermot Ryan. Prior to joining the UoB, I received my Master's degree in Information Security from University College London (UCL) with Distinction.
