About this member:
​I am Professor in Computing & Human-Data Interaction in the Department of Computer Science & Technology, as well as Fellow and President of Christ's College, and an elected member of the College's Council. Prior to returning to Cambridge as a lecturer in 2015, I was a Fellow and then Lecturer at the University of Nottingham (2009—2015), after founding a startup (2008—2009), and working as a researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge (2002—2008) and Sprint Advanced Technology Labs, California (2001—2002). Until being elected to Council I was Chair of the University’s Board of Scrutiny for the second time having first been elected to the Board in 2018. Outside the University I am a member of the Technology Advisory Panel for the Investigatory Powers Commissioner's Office, and founder and director of IKVA Limited.

I stood for Council because I would like to help the University remain focused on its primary purpose: creating and disseminating knowledge through research, scholarship and education.​
