Research Experience
- Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow (Lecturer), Department of Computer Science, The University of Manchester, project title: 'Strong Software Reliability for Autonomous Space Robotics'
- Senior Post-Doctoral Researcher, Department of Computer Science, Maynooth University, VALU3S project, involved in eliciting and verifying requirements for an aircraft engine controller
- EPSRC funded FAIR-SPACE Hub, participated in RAIN and ORCA Hubs, focused on using and combining formal methods to reason about and provide certification evidence for robotic systems deployed in hazardous environments
Education
- PhD: Maynooth University, 2017, research on defining a semantics, modularisation constructs, and interoperability for the Event-B formal specification language using the theory of institutions
Background
- Research Interests: Formal methods and their application to autonomous, automated, and/or robotic/aerospace systems, integrated formal methods, category theory and its use in Computer Science, formal semantics of programming and specification languages
- Professional Field: Computer Science
- Brief Introduction: Royal Academy of Engineering Research Fellow (Lecturer) focused on developing new ways to describe, analyze, and assure the autonomous behavior of robotic space systems.
Miscellany
- Personal Interests: Served as chair or co-chair for several international conferences such as iFM 2025, iFM 2024, etc.
- Professional Activities: Participated in the IEEE P7009 Standard Working Group, co-organizer of multiple workshops and symposiums
