I very much enjoyed my time at the University of Plymouth and hope we can continue working together on research projects, bids and papers throughout my career in maritime technology.
Cybersecurity was previously a little outside my comfort zone. But that’s now changed thanks to my experience with the Maritime Cyber Threats research group. The knowledge I have gained will be extremely useful going forwards with my coursework and personal projects. Spending time with the Cyber-SHIP Lab team has been enormously beneficial and rewarding – I’ve come out of this feeling more open to doing more postgraduate study, and am more interested in cybersecurity.
It was beneficial for me as an educated seafarer to work with the Cyber-SHIP Lab team, as they are a diverse and interesting group of people, with interests in everything from governance and policy making to IT engineering and ship operation. I got to participate in both theoretical research work on cyber risk management and practical research following maritime cyber training in the maritime ship simulators. Gaining international competence has yielded opportunities for me to apply for international jobs and, after completing my PhD, I will start working for DNV, where the international experience is sure to be a benefit.
I am so happy and honoured to been involved in Cyber-SHIP Lab; it was the key point in my research and I am grateful for the help of the research staff.
