Biography

I am Senior Lecturer at the School of Computing Science. I received a PhD in Computing Science from the University of Glasgow and an MSc in Bioinformatics jointly from the universities of Edinburgh and Trento (Italy). I previously held positions at the University of Glasgow as Research Fellow in the Science of Sensor Systems Software (S4) EPSRC programme grant and as EPSRC Doctoral Prize Fellow. My research is within the field of formal modelling and verification with a particular focus on spatial and probabilistic aspects. My main contribution to date is bigraphs with sharing, a novel mathematical formalism that encapsulates both dynamic and spatial behaviour.

Find out more on my personal website.

Research interests

My research focusses on the theory of bigraphs and how to use it to reason about safety, reliability and predictability of location-aware, event-based, software systems, particularly complex systems that are already deployed.

I currently lead FARM, a PETRAS research projects on formal methods for resiliance modelling in Agritech and MAGIC, a PETRAS project on modelling perspectives in autonomous aerial and ground vehicles. I have also recently received an Amazon Research Award on Automated Reasonig for the project “From Whiteboards to Models: Diagrammatic Formal Modelling for Everyone”.

In the past, I have lead a research programme on formal methods for IoT device management platforms, with the Royal Society of Edinburgh and the Taiwan Ministry of Science and Technology, and was visiting researcher at UC Berkeley, modelling autonomous swarm systems.

I am the lead developer of BigraphER, a suite of open-source tools for rewriting, simulation and visual display of bigraphs.

Recent research includes estimation techniques for networks of sensors with overlapping ranges, digital twinning for Mixed-Reality systems, and human-autonomy teaming in connected vehicular systems.
