DCS Student Helps Uncover and Fix Mobile Network Security Flaw
Warwick undergraduate Sasha Shaw has helped uncover and responsibly disclose a security flaw in a UK mobile network as part of his dissertation project, supervised by Professor Feng Hao. The vulnerability has now been patched, and Sasha has been recognised by BT on its responsible disclosure Hall of Fame. His project examined the security of the SIP stack over VoLTE and highlights the real-world impact that student cybersecurity research can have.
Paolo Turrini Highly Commended in WAPCE
Congratulations to Dr Paolo Turrini, who has been highly commended in the Community Impact category of the 2026 Warwick Awards for Public and Community Engagement (WAPCE).
The award recognises Paolo's work as founder and chair of the Temperance Philosophy Club in Leamington Spa, a free monthly forum that brings people together from across the local community to explore ethical, social and philosophical questions in an open, inclusive and non-polarising environment.
Since launching in September 2024, the club has welcomed around 500 participants, creating opportunities for dialogue, critical thinking and lifelong learning. Through these discussions, the initiative has helped strengthen connections between the 神马福利影片 and the wider community, while demonstrating how academic ideas can inspire meaningful public engagement beyond the campus.
The WAPCE awards celebrate the contributions Warwick staff and students make in engaging communities locally, nationally and internationally. Paolo's recognition highlights the impact that thoughtful, community-focused initiatives can have in bringing people together and fostering informed discussion on issues that matter.
Congratulations to Paolo on this well-deserved recognition.
