I am a Professor of Software Engineering at the Open University whose research addresses the practical problems associated with building and maintaining self-managing (adaptive) systems by combining rigorous formal techniques with concrete implementations and applications of those techniques.

During my career, I have published over 100 peer-reviewed papers which include 4 that won Best Paper awards. My interdisciplinary research bridges software engineering with social psychology, business strategy, human-computer interaction, healthcare, and machine learning, ensured the success of these projects. As a result, I have successfully contributed to advances that have impacted application domains that include online social networks, enterprise systems, policing, the internet of things and mobile applications. My teaching spans undergraduate and postgraduate curricula, specialising in software engineering and cyber security. I am also an investigator on externally funded research projects (totalling >£6M) and was a member of the team that won the IET Innovation Award in Cyber Security (in 2017).
