My name is Katie and I'm a lecturer of Cyber Security at Manchester Metropolitan University and an Early Career Researcher in the domain of security research. I have a Ph.D. from Cranfield University, studying natural language processing and insider threat. My research roughly revolves around the intersection of AI/ML and Infosec, both in how AI/ML can improve security applications and processes, supporting practitioners rather than supplanting them and the security of AI/ML systems. I'm very interested in pedagogy and teach on MMU's Cyber Security degree program at Degree Apprenticeship, Undergraduate and Postgraduate levels. I'm interested in new teaching methods and incorporating gamification and interactivity into lectures. I speak at conferences and events fairly often and have had the pleasure to speak at CISA's (Cyber Security and Infrastructure Agency) Cybersummit, BlackHat, British Computing Society, OWASP (Open Web Application Security Project) as well as speaking at events with industry partners.
