He is also an honorary professor at University College London and the National Institute of Informatics, Japan.

Career

Nuseibeh studied at the University of Sussex where he received a BSc in Computer Systems Engineering in 1988. He then moved to Imperial College London to complete his MSc, which he was awarded in 1989. He remained at Imperial College London for the next decade, firstly to complete his PhD in Software Engineering in 1994, before becoming a postdoctoral researcher. He received his lectureship in 1996, and was promoted to reader in 2000. [1]

In 2001, Nuseibeh moved to the Open University as professor of computing, where he was director of research from 2002 to 2008. From 2009 to 2012, he took a secondment to Lero, The Irish Software Research Centre, as professor of software engineering and chief scientist. [2] In recent years, Nuseibeh has become a leading expert in privacy and security in the field of software development. [3] As a result he received two European Research Council (ERC) grants, including an Advanced Grant on Adaptive Security and Privacy. His research included award-winning work into adaptive privacy.

He was a visiting professor at Imperial College, and is currently a visiting professor at both University College London (UCL) and the National Institute of Informatics (NII), Japan. He is also a professor at the University of Limerick. [4]
