Amna Altaf

Amna Altaf is a Researcher at Bournemouth University's Faculty of Science and Technology, focusing on integrating Safety, Security, and Human Factors Engineering in rail infrastructure design and evaluation. Her work is conducted in collaboration with Ricardo Rail.

Research Interests:

• Security by Design
• Safety Engineering
• Human-Computer Interaction for Rail Systems
• Cyber Security in Critical Infrastructure

Publications: Recent contributions include studies on task analysis for secure rail design and safety/human factors identification using IRIS/CAIRIS frameworks. These explore intersections between security, usability, and system safety in transportation systems.

Teaching: Delivers courses on 'Security by Design' at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels, emphasizing practical applications of secure design principles.

Outreach: Engaged in activities such as technical visits to rail projects (e.g., Noord-Zuid Lijn), NCSC workshops on security vs safety, and doctoral symposium participation.
