Biography
Mark Elliot has been central to the field of confidentiality and privacy since 1996. He is one of the key international researchers in the field of Statistical Disclosure and collaborates widely with non-academic partners, particularly with national statistical agencies where he has been a key influence on disclosure control methodology used in censuses and surveys and where the SUDA software that he developed in collaboration with colleagues in Computer Science at Manchester is used. Mark stands out for his interdisciplinary breadth with publications in stats, computer science law and social science journals.
Since 2012, he has led the UK Anonymisation Network (www.ukanon.net), which has 600 members and provides advice, consultancy and training on anonymisation and works closely with the UKs information commissioner’s office. Since 2023 he has led SPRITE+ (https://spritehub.org/) a cross sector community which runs events and funds research on all elements of TIPS (Trust, Identity, Privacy and Security).
Aside from Privacy his research interests also include AI and Society and substantive social science topics under the broad heading of Psychological Sociology (including studies of fathering, personal relationships and social and political attitudes).
