Biography

William Seymour is a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) in Cybersecurity and member of the Cyber Security Group in the Department of Informatics at King’s College London. Before coming to King’s as a postdoctoral researcher, he obtained a DPhil in Cybersecurity from the University of Oxford and an MEng in Computer Science from the University of Warwick.

William conducts interdisciplinary work at the intersection of security, privacy, HCI, ethics, and law using a combination of computational and social science research methods. His work explores people’s concerns about using AI systems, what values those systems should embody, and how they can better meet the needs of the people who use them. He has worked with a wide range of public sector and industry partners including Microsoft, BRE Group, and the Information Commissioner’s Office.
