Current work

I am in the final year of my PhD, which has focused on the theory and evaluation of statistical methods for non-profiled side-channel analysis. I have recently entered into the 'writing up phase' and am very grateful to have had such an enjoyable research experience so far - hopefully this will provide me with plenty of enthusiasm to fuel my efforts in the few months ahead!
