Profile

John Clark is a Professor of Computer and Information Security at the University of ºù«Ӱҵ since April 2017 and leads the Security of Advanced Systems Research Group. Previously he was Professor of Critical Systems at the University of York, having joined academia in 1992 as a Lecturer in Safety Critical Systems.

He studied Maths and then Applied Statistics at Oxford, before joining the security division of the software and systems house Logica (where he worked on security evaluation and security R&D).

Research interests

His major research interests lie in cybersecurity and software engineering, most notably the use of Artificial Intelligence to these areas. Publications have included work on: threat modelling, security policies, covert channel analysis, cryptographic building blocks, intrusion detection, insider detection, and automated synthesis of security protocols.

Current work addresses the automated discovery of classical cryptanalytic strategies, intrusion detection, and the search for quantum approaches to cryptanalysis via evolutionary computation.

He is particularly interested right now in building up research in the security of robotic and autonomous systems and in the security of advanced manufacturing systems.
