Research

Graham’s research in data science and machine learning has recently focussed on how we can recover our privacy in a digital and data rich world. To that end, he has built a team that is researching how data can be securely stored and placed under an individual’s control. Our personal online data stores (PODs) are hosted on open source SOLID (socially linked data) servers that store open and encrypted data.
