Nathan Dimmock is currently a third year Ph.D. student in the Opera Group at the University of Cambridge Computer Lab. After completing a degree in Computer Science at Cambridge in June 2001 he then decided to spend 6 months trekking around Canada, working in coffee shops in return for free coffee and generally avoiding anything that looked like a computer. Having now completed his caffeine detox programme, he is researching computational trust-based approaches to access control with applications in the field of pervasive computing, and unobtrusive security mechanisms. Nathan is a graduate student at Jesus College and is funded by Marconi plc. |

Currently I am working on a project called SECURE, which is an EU funded project looking at using trust-based access control for mobile and disconnected clients. Here's a poster (1MB PDF file) I designed for the noticeboard outside my office which gives a (non-technical) overview.
A list of my publications.
I recently started writing my thesis.
I have a page dedicated to all things to do with supervisions, and some tips for writing a dissertation.
I am a topic-area editor for the IEEE's first online-only publication, Distributed Systems Online (message-oriented and object-oriented middleware) and I occasionally blog about research.
