Bachelor and Master Degree
Bachelor of Arts in Applied Linguistics and French
In 2014, I graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Applied Linguistics and French from Birkbeck, University of London. This degree provided a fascinating exploration into the acquisition and structure of human language.
My studies focused on several key areas, including:
- Language Acquisition: I gained a deep understanding of how humans acquire language, from the initial sounds of an infant to the formation of syllables and words. I also learned how the human brain processes and stores not only language but information in general.
- Linguistic Structures: The course addressed how languages are structured, how they evolve over time, and their interconnected relationships.
- Second Language Acquisition: I studied French as a second language, which was complemented by an in-depth look at the literature and culture of French-speaking countries.
- Animal Communication: The curriculum also explored animal communication and cognition, offering valuable insights into how other species communicate and process thought through instinct.
This degree provided me with strong analytical and communication skills, alongside a unique perspective on the intricate relationship between language, culture, and human cognition.
Master of Science in Cybersecurity and Human Factors
I graduated from Bournemouth University in 2022 with a Master of Science in Cybersecurity and Human Factors. This programme was particularly compelling as it explored the critical intersection of human behavior and technology. The curriculum provided a deep understanding of cyber threats and security best practices, with a specific focus on the following subjects:
- Cybersecurity: Covered a broad range of topics, including network, web, and application security, as well as risk management, incident response, and security policies.
- Cyber Psychology: Focused on how human factors influence security, including how attackers exploit human vulnerabilities through social engineering to gain access to systems and data.
- Enterprise Digital Forensics: Provided skills in investigating cyber incidents and collecting digital evidence in a corporate environment.
- Academic Research: Developed my ability to conduct both qualitative and quantitative research on cybersecurity topics.
- Blockchain and Cryptocurrency: Explored the security and operational aspects of decentralized technologies, including my final project on Smart Contracts for real estate.
- User Experience (UX) and User Interaction (UI): Addressed the principles of human-computer interaction, usability, and user-centered design to create more secure and intuitive systems.
My final master's project focused on the application of
Smart Contracts for Real Estate Agents. This research allowed me to explore the development of secure and transparent transactional systems that eliminate the need for intermediaries, providing a practical demonstration of my technical and analytical skills.
