Year 1 Student - 2024 Cohort - Cohort 6

I have a Master’s degree in cyber security from the University of Bristol. During my Master’s program, I had a great experience learning from hands-on labs, especially in networking and IoT. My dissertation focused on usability of deletion in smart speakers, which made me very interested in privacy and data deletion. I was also inspired by the professors’ enthusiasm for research. Because of this inspiration, I decided to apply for the CDT program. The CDT program has been very enriching and eye-opening. Through the courses, I have also learned more cutting-edge and wide-ranging knowledge, which has broadened my perspective from technical issues to include more aspects like human and organizational factors. I still care deeply about privacy, but I also hope to explore more research areas during my time in the CDT.
