Dr Chris Smith
Lecturer

Interests

My research interests include:

• Accountability
• Trust and Trustworthiness
• Privacy and Data Protection

I am interested in how systems can be designed to operationalise human values, particularly privacy; how systems can be evaluated with respect to these values; and the relationship between these values and the trustworthiness of systems. My research draws on insights from a range of disciplines, including Computer Science, Law and Ethics.
