Professor Kevin Jones is the Deputy Vice-Chancellor for Research and Innovation and Executive Dean of the Faculty of Science and Engineering at the University of Plymouth. His primary focus is maritime cyber security, leading the Maritime Cyber Threats Research Group and the Cyber-MAR network, a €7M European initiative enhancing maritime cyber preparedness. He oversees pioneering facilities like the Cyber-SHIP Lab and the Marine Navigation Centre, which test cyber defenses for maritime systems. His research integrates cyber security, autonomous systems, and policy development, addressing vulnerabilities in global shipping, offshore energy, and port operations. Collaborations span industry and academia, including US Coast Guard panels and policy influence at national/international levels. Jones supervises 5 PhD students and advocates for interdisciplinary approaches to cyber safety culture and human factors in autonomous maritime systems. Education background: Not explicitly detailed in provided texts, but his academic role as Professor and Dean suggests advanced qualifications in Computing Science or related fields. Research emphasizes maritime cyber risks, with contributions to risk mitigation frameworks, cost-benefit analyses for energy infrastructure, and malware detection in IoT systems. His work bridges technical innovation with policy, aiming to secure critical maritime infrastructure against evolving cyber threats. Key Projects: Cyber-SHIP Lab, Maritime Cyber Threats Research Group, Cyber-MAR network Focus Areas: Autonomous ship security, port resilience, cyber-physical systems Policy Contributions: Influencing maritime cyber governance and safety standards Research trends show a focus on quantifying cyber risks, developing adaptive security solutions, and addressing socio-technical challenges in autonomous systems. Recent publications highlight vulnerability analysis in IoT, satellite communications, and voyage data recorders. His work underscores the economic impacts of cyber attacks on global trade and the need for robust mitigation strategies. Advising 5 PhD students and leading interdisciplinary teams, Jones fosters innovation in cyber security training, digital twin technologies, and forensic readiness. Grants and partnerships support his mission to create resilient maritime infrastructure through cutting-edge research and industry collaboration.
