Note to Students Requesting Reference Letters
If you would like to request a reference letter from me, please ensure that you meet at least one of the following criteria:
  1. You have achieved an A3 or above in the COMPSCI5093/COMPSCI5104 Secured Software Engineering course.
  2. You have co-authored a research publication with me.
Professionalism and Reference Requests

I take professionalism, reliability, and respect for others' time seriously.
Students who book professional development activities, such as CV Clinics with industry representatives, but fail to attend without prior notice are demonstrating behaviour that falls short of these expectations. I am unlikely to provide reference letters for students who demonstrate such unprofessional behaviour.
I consider these qualities when deciding whether I can provide a positive and meaningful reference.

Please DO NOT send me a draft reference letter. I will write the letter based on my own academic judgement and my direct knowledge of your work, performance, and potential.
Normally, I can provide up to three reference letters per student. Additional requests, up to five in total, may be considered on a case by case basis.
To request a reference letter, please contact me at least three weeks before the deadline and provide the following information:
  1. Your CV.
  2. Your transcript or course result.
  3. The programme, position, scholarship, or opportunity you are applying for.
  4. The deadline and submission method.
  5. A short explanation of why you are applying and why the opportunity is suitable for you.
