Aad van Moorsel is Professor and Head of the School of Computer Science at University of Birmingham. He is the Principal Investigator of UKFin, the UKRI EPSRC Network in Financial Services, which kicks off September 2022 to provide an interface between academia and industry.

In his current research he is spearheading efforts in financial inclusion in collaboration with Atom Bank and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. He is a Fellow of the Turing Institute and has led large interdisciplinary research projects for a total of over £20m throughout his career.

Prior to joining Birmingham he established Newcastle University's NCSC/EPSRC Academic Centre of Excellence in Cyber Security Research and pioneered degree apprenticeships as Director of the Institute of Coding at Newcastle.

During his time at Lucent Technologies/Bell Labs Research and HP Labs he gained ample experience of industry-style research and research management, and he co-founded the startup CloudIdentity Ltd in human-centric identity management, which since has been successfully sold.

He is the author of over 200 peer-reviewed research articles and of 4 US patents.  For Professor Aad van Moorsel's publications, please see Aad's Google Scholar profile.
