Dr Lucian Tipi
Head of Teaching and Learning Enhancement, College of Business, Technology and Engineering
Summary
I have a pedigree of academic leadership in a wide range of roles undertaken at Sheffield Hallam University and with International partners. My research interests are focused on the areas of Information Systems in Business, Project Management and Education. I have published in these areas through case studies, books and book chapters, journal and conference papers. My teaching leadership extends to the UK and internationally. I have been awarded a Teaching Excellence prize that recognises my contributions to teaching and learning. My teaching practice and impact have been recognised by Advance HE (formerly Higher Education Academy) and I am now a Senior Fellow. Cybercrime is my 'flagship' teaching area and I take an applied approach to this by using current news and practical examples. I have taught in this area internationally (Malaysia, Finland, Hong Kong, China, Botswana). I appear on various media outlets and I have regular contributions in areas of business-related interests (e.g. Cybercrime, Brexit).

Media
I have worked on a considerable range of projects, with focus on Change through Information Systems. I represent Sheffield Hallam University through a variety of external media outlets and I have regular contributions through interviews or articles in my business or teaching expertise areas (for example Cybercrime, Brexit). I have appeared in the media to provide analysis in the following areas:
• Business Information Systems (including Cybercrime)
• Project Management
• Decision Making
• Data Analysis
My contributions are focused on popularising/explaining topics that the public is interested in, in an accessible way.
