I am an Assistant Professor in Healthcare Artificial Intelligence and Cybersecurity in the Faculty of Population Health Sciences at University College London, where I lead the CRASH Research Group (Cybersecurity Resiliency & AI Safety in Healthcare). I also work with the wonderful team at the Centre for Healthcare Cybersecurity, University of California San Diego, as a Research Fellow modelling patient-level impacts of healthcare cyberattacks. As an Emergency Doctor, with a PhD in Artificial Intelligence, and industry experience as a cybersecurity analyst, I focus my research on the intersection of emerging technologies and patient safety. On this website, you will find copies of my research talks, publications, media interviews and contact details for getting in touch.

​

My work involves collaborations with national and global institutions regarding the cybersecurity of critical infrastructure and the risks of frontier AI models, including the United Nations, the International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence, the British Standards Institution, the UK Medical Royal Colleges and governmental agencies. In 2019 and 2021 I worked with the UNESCO team developing the first global Recommendation on the Ethics of Artificial Intelligence and continue to contribute to international UN guidance as an expert author on AI and Gender. My work has been featured in national newspapers and other news outlets, and I have spoken at leading hacker and cybersecurity events, including DEFCON Homecoming, DEFCON 2024, & May Contain Hackers (MCH).
