'The story of Bletchley Park is crucial to the development of our academic discipline, as well as to the national life,' said Martin. 'It is a great privilege to be involved in this way, and through the connection with Kellogg College, I hope we can bring that story to an even wider audience.'

Martin’s recent research focus has been on the technologies of Trusted Computing, exploring how they can be applied in large-scale distributed systems, particularly cloud computing, mobile devices, and the internet of things. He has published extensively in this area, hosting several related international events in Oxford and speaking on the subject all over the world. Many Kellogg College students on the software engineering and systems security Master’s degrees visit Bletchley Park as part of their studies.

Sir John Scarlett, Chairman of the Bletchley Park Trust, said: 'We are delighted to welcome Andrew as a Trustee and to strengthen the ongoing collaboration between Kellogg College and Bletchley Park. His appointment to the board is a natural progression of our relationship and will help enhance our understanding of how the vital work carried out here in the Second World War remains directly relevant to society today.'

The Trust’s mission is to preserve and enhance Bletchley Park, to attract, engage and educate visitors from all over the world through the continuing restoration and development of the entire estate and its exhibitions. By highlighting the codebreaking achievements of Bletchley Park in WW2 and its role as a birthplace of computing, it reinforces the site’s importance for understanding the past and its relevance to the future.
