Senior Lecturer in Digital Forensics and Cyber Security
University of South Wales
After completing my undergraduate and postgraduate studies in Digital Forensics, I gained practical experience by working on cases for several police forces across the UK and serving as an Expert Witness in court. After several years of acquiring this experience, I began teaching the next generation at the National Cyber Security Academy. As a Senior Lecturer in Digital Forensics and Cyber Security, I taught various modules ranging from level 5 to 7, such as ‘Digital Forensic Techniques,’ ‘Mobile Device Forensics,’ ‘Emerging Technologies and Digital Forensics,’ and ‘Secure Operations and Incident Management.’ During this time, I also led the master’s programs in Applied Cyber Security and Digital Forensics. This experience is contributing to my PhD research, which focuses on enhancing DFIR (Digital Forensic Incident Response) capabilities in the healthcare industry.
