President - Sebastian Lacatusu - 3rd Year BSc Cybersecurity & Digital Forensics
I got into cyber because my best friend overwrote my Windows 7 installation with kali linux and i was stuck with it for a month.
I stayed in cyber thanks to YTCracker, Dual Core and Yung Innanet, as well as the defcon media archive and Cheat Engine.
I want the society to become a place where people make friends and collaborators for life, without having to rely on luck for finding peers.
Vice President - James Sabin - 2nd Year BSc Cybersecurity & Digital Forensics
Hello everyone! My name is James, I'm the VP of the Falcons. I'm highly passionate about cybersecurity, particularly penetration testing and researching new attack vectors. I met Seb through going to a PAL session and asking for help with a project, a "pwnagotchi", and now I am here! Taking that first step was hard, but worth it!
Treasurer - Patrycja Stefaniak - 3rd Year BSc Cybersecurity & Digital Forensics
My journey with UWE began after I decided to follow a teacher’s guidance of applying to this university. However, the decision to study cyber security and digital forensics was derived from my curiosity in the forever-changing cyber landscape. I hope that the CTF Falcons can become a platform for people to satisfy these curiosities, as well as help people develop skills and gain industry connections in order to aid them in the future.
Diversity, Inclusion and Equality Officer - Lucja Mendygral - 3rd Year BSc Cybersecurity & Digital Forensics
Hi my name is Lucia and I'm the inclusion/diversity officer. I am a third year student studying cybersecurity and digital forensics, and I hope to go down the digital forensics route. I am currently the president of cyberwomen@UWE and aspire to influence minorities to get into the cyber career path.
Equipment Officer and Web Admin - James Feighan - 2nd Year BSc Cybersecurity & Digital Forensics
The very first thing that got me interested in Cybersecurity, was a recorded presentation from Wild West Hackin' Fest where David Ollam talks about how he and his team get paid to do physical penetration tests on client sites. Eventually I pivoted to Cybersecurity, though I'm still very interested in physical pen tests and put the skills I learned to use whenever I can, much to the annoyance of my housemates.
Dedicated to securing the
future.
