Additionally, the hackerspace provides a workshop where members can come        and build their projects in a friendly,        collaborative and engaging environment.        Members of the Ballarat Hackerspace have created lots of great projects,        bouncing ideas off each other and        helping        each other./p>    p>The Ballarat Hackerspace is a supportive environment with a clear code of        conduct and supports all people        using the        space.        Initiatives on this front include the ability for members to bring in        their kids under their membership        (although the guardiant is responsible for them), and Womens        Wednesdays, where women can use the space for free, forever.    /p>    p>The Ballarat Hackerspace has become a central nexus for technology        activity in Ballarat, working with local        Universities, schools, organisations, community leaders and businesses.        It is funded through memberships and sponsorships, and has been running        for over three years./p>    a classback_to_top href#top>Back to top/a>/article>article idresearch>    h1>Research/h1>    p>Dr Layton has an extensive research background.

My Supervisor for the project was Professor Paul Watters and Associate        Supervisor was Associate Professor        Richard        Dazeley.        In the project I worked with Westpac Banking Corporation and other        partners on real data and real problems        in        cybercrime./p>    p>My PhD research investigated the use of Authorship Analysis to link        together cyberattacks, specifically        investigating        phishing attacks.
