He has also been involved in lecturing roles relating to technology, fraud and financial crime, where the key fraud and financial crime threats and opportunities that are presented by the affordances of technology were generally examined and also looked at the role of Financial Technology (FinTech) and big data in the prevention of fraud and financial crime.
