Alice Hutchings is a Professor of Emergent Harms in the Security Group at the Computer Laboratory, University of Cambridge and a Fellow of King's College. She is also Director of the Cambridge Cybercrime Centre, an interdisciplinary initiative combining expertise from computer science, criminology and law. They take a data-driven approach to improve our understanding of criminal activity and develop robust identifiers and evidence of criminal behavior. An important goal of the project is to provide data to other academics and therefore improve the quantity and quality of cybercrime research.

Prior to taking up her lectureship Alice was a researcher at the Computer Laboratory from January 2014 to October 2018, and a College Research Associate at St John's College, Cambridge, from 2017 to 2018. Before moving to Cambridge she was a Senior Research Analyst at the Australian Institute of Criminology from 2011 to 2013. Before entering academia she had a varied research career in local government, parliament, law and private investigation (intellectual property). Alice first began researching cybercrime in the late 1990s, while working in industry with a focus mainly on domain name misuse and software counterfeiting.
