Biography:

Vladimir holds Ph.D. (2008) and B.Eng. Honours (2003) degrees in Software Engineering and Computing, respectively, from the City University London.

Initially, he was employed as a Research Assistant at the CSR working on the DOTS project and contributing to the DIRC project. Subsequently, he was appointed as a Research Associate, Security and Forensic Evaluation of ICT systems, and contributed to the centre's ongoing initiative in dependability and security assessment of computer-based systems. During this appointment he obtained the Ph.D.

He was appointed to a permanent post as a Research Fellow in CSR in January 2009.

Currently, he is involved in the PIA:FARA project (sponsored by the EPSRC and TSB).
