Wireless Sensor Network Security

Emerging WSN technology benefits from a constrained hardware, software and protocol architecture. However, the security requirements are different and harder to meet. My work has involved cryptographic key exchange and distance based message authentication at the School of Computing and Communications within Lancaster University.

Wireless Network Train Control

My undergraduate project at the University of Essex involved the from-scratch development of a wireless control system for a model railway. A custom embedded software application was designed to provide network and control functionality, touching on all layers of the network stack. You can read more, here.

Teaching Material

I have taught courses on computer programming, embedded systems and web technology to undergraduates. I have also taught development courses to postgraduates on Linux installation, Unix command line and LaTeX. Some of the material from these sessions is archived on this site, here.

PorkControl Transceiver Control Program

The PorkControl transceiver control program allows most functionality of a Yaesu FT-817ND to be controlled using a connected computer. The program is free, open-source and compatible with many operating systems. You can get it here.
