    Professor Chris Johnson

    Glasgow University, Professor and Head of Computing Science

    I'm Professor and Head of Computing Science at Glasgow University.My research increases the resilience of critical infrastructures. I have advised a wide range of companies including EDF (UK), DFS (Germany), Frequentis (Austria), LVNL (Netherlands), Skyguide (Switzerland) and Thales (UK).I am the software specialist on the SESAR scientific board advising the European Commission on the future of Air Traffic Management, comparable to the US NextGen programme. I also work on the cyber security of airport operations with EUROCONTROL, AdP and Helios.I have worked with the United Nations (UNICRI) on improving the cyber-security of Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear facilities, including facilities in Africa and Asia, with the US Pacific Northwestern Labs and the UK National Nuclear Laboratory.The main focus for my work is at the interface between safety and security - for example, developing techniques so that we can continue to ensure safety while gathering forensic evidence in the aftermath of a cyber-attack. I've also worked on understanding space mission failures with NASA, the European Space Agency and the US Air Force.In my spare time, I'm an SRU level one rugby coach with the West of Scotland juniors.
