Research Interests

I have research interests broadly in system, software and security engineering. Specifically:

I'm particularly keen to work with external partners in industry and encourage my students to do so as well. I find software engineering research is best informed by the needs and challenges experienced by practitioners.

PhD Students

Please get in touch with me if you are interested in pursuing a PhD.

Teaching and Administration

In AY 2017 I will be teaching Professional Software Development (PSD3), Team Project 3 (TP3), Advanced Software Engineering Practices (ASEP) and Software Engineering Summer Placement (SESP).

As well as leading the Systems Engineering Group, I'm also the Software Engineering Programme Coordinator and am also responsible for industrial liaison in the School.

Software

Take a look at my GitHub repositories.

I'm a contributor to a suite a Python packages for developing simulations of socio-technical systems, including Theatre, PyDySoFu and Fuzzi Moss.

I developed a package for performing mutation analysis on component assemblies called Ringneck.

There is also a Whitespace interpreter written in Java, Whitespace4J.
