My education, extensive research and other work experience are in the areas of information systems and business. My PhD from the University of Manchester was on business to consumer e-commerce. I have published research in e-commerce, trust, online collaboration, ransomware, artificial intelligence and project management. I have utilised both qualitative methods like interviews and quantitative methods like structural equation modelling using partial least squares. I have participated in applying for funding and worked on a large EU funded research project at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) and UKRI funded project at Loughborough University. I have also worked on a project funded by the private sector at the University of Cambridge.
