About<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]In addition to my studies at RHUL, I work for one of the global banks as a Fraud Strategy Manager, designing and building control strategies to protect both customers and the bank from fraud. My academic research area is in the space of synthetic identity and the implications of these for systemically significant, trust-based institutions like a bank, especially implications for authentication.<\/p>\n

I’m interested in the ‘ruptures’ in our considerations of fraud and around changing definitions of what “fraud” is and the dangers attached to it.\u00a0 How technological changes and our relationships with technology influence our views around fraud is also interesting to me.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
