Dr Martin's areas of research include security in distributed systems. He has been making the connection between Trusted Computing and grid technologies, and looking for the architectural elements and design patterns necessary to make this a reality. He has several ongoing projects in this area, addressing both the theoretical and abstract issues of trust in distributed systems, as well as the pragmatics of how to build such systems. Within the Department of Computer Science, a reading group gives provides the opportunity to review work from within the group and outside. Dr Martin is
