About

I am a Research Consultant working in Computer Architecture, Compilers, Microarchitectural Security and Microarchitectural Fault Resilience, currently for IMEC.

I'm also an Honorary Fellow at the University of Edinburgh.

Research

My research interests currently include architectural and compiler techniques for:

Publications

Prefetching and Big Data

Fault Tolerance

Security

Other Architecture/Compilers


Teaching

I created the course Security Engineering for UG4/UG5/MSc students at Edinburgh, with Ross Anderson, with videos of the lectures available free to all. This gives students the opportunity to understand the ways real systems are attacked and defended, with a broad-church perspective from psychology and economics all the way down to computer architecture and transistors.
