Associate Professor in Human Factors of Cyber Security, Department of Computer Science
Ivan Flechais
Associate Professor in Human Factors of Cyber Security, Department of Computer Science
Ivan is a Associate Professor in the Department of Computer Science and leads the Software Engineering Programme. He is interested in the challenges faced by developers when trying to design securely for complex systems. This is visible in many projects where different requirements such as functionality, usability, efficiency, simplicity, etc. all compete with each other and with security. In order to address this, Flechais developed the design methodology AEGIS as a means of fostering an approachable, cost-effective design rationale, aimed at supporting developers in making informed decisions about technical security and its usability.
Associate Professor and Senior Research Fellow, Department of Computer Science
Michael Goldsmith
Associate Professor and Senior Research Fellow, Department of Computer Science
Professor Michael Goldsmith is Senior Research Fellow in Computer Science and a Fellow of Worcester College. His research concerns establishing the robustness and security of systems, especially in ad-hoc and pervasive computing environments, from underpinning theory through ethical and psychological issues to practical application.
Associate Professor and ACE-CSR Director, Department of Politics and International Relations
Lucas Kello
Associate Professor and ACE-CSR Director, Department of Politics and International Relations
Lucas Kello is Associate Professor and Departmental Lecturer in the Department of Politics and International Relations at the University of Oxford. He serves as Director of Studies in Politics at St. Catherine’s College and as Director of the University’s Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research.
His research focuses on technology and global affairs, with a special emphasis on cyber issues and relations among government and private industry in the development of strategic technologies. His first book, The Virtual Weapon and International Order (Yale University Press, 2017), analysed the implications of cyberspace for interstate strategic stability. His second book, Striking Back: The End of Peace in Cyberspace and How to Restore It (Yale University Press, 2022), examined shortcomings in prevailing strategies to prevent or reduce the intensity of cyber conflict and presented a new approach to achieving order in cyberspace. In 2022, the work was named one of the best new books by the Financial Times and Nature.
