Selected Technical and Academic Commitments

I serve as a grant reviewer, external examiner, degree assessment panel member, and as a member of other technical and academic panels and committees. I have been editing special issues for journals and magazines, chairing conferences, reviewing papers for conferences and journals for more than a decade. Apart from presenting my papers at international conferences, I am regularly invited as a speaker by various cybersecurity and privacy rand multi/interdisciplinary research groups. I present my work to national and international academic and industrial organisations as well as policymakers (e.g., W3C) and the public. I am also available as a consultant. Please email me for more information.
