Dr Nick Savage

Biography

I joined the University in 2000 to work as a researcher on an EPSRC project characterising the indoor communications channel and a Radiocommunications Agency (now OFCOM) sponsored project characterising radiowave propagation through vegetation. I previously worked for a defence contractor and a computer networking company.

I started work as a lecturer in the Department of Electronic and Computer Engineering in 2002 where I became the admissions tutor and programme coordinator for all undergraduate and integrated masters Electronic Engineering, Computer Engineering and Networking degree programmes. I was the course leader for the BSc (Hons) Computer Networks degree programme and the programme manager for the Foundation Degree (FDEng) in Electronic Engineering.

I am now the Head of the School of Computing, responsible for the operational efficiency and effectiveness of the School; as well as leading the School towards realising the University’s strategic vision. I also have a keen research interest in the development of secure systems, identifying vulnerabilities in systems, utilising features to identify users and network protocol analysis.
