Technical Report

Our IoT research group focused on three key themes this year, with researcher Kira Nurse launching new projects. Nada Alhirabi completed her doctoral research on privacy-aware IoT applications, and Yaser Awwad earned his research degree researching anomaly detection with smart cameras in low-light conditions. We showcased work at Wales Tech Week and ACM Ubicomp, hosted the PETRAS Regional Showcase “Connected Spaces,” and explored collaborations during the UW-NPS Research Station visit. Funding highlights include Google Research Scholar support for neurodiversity, UK Defence and Security backing for the Edgy Organism project, and EPSRC PETRAS funding for a smart-city demonstrator, alongside the team completing CyberASAP with the CASPER Shield.
