Personal profile

I am the Subject Group Leader for the Computer Science Subject Group within the School of Computer Science and Informatics.

My teaching covers mainly computer programming (imperative, functional, object-oriented), formal specification, data structures, algorithms.

I am interested in run-time verification of systems whose behaviour has been specified using a formal notation. Specifically I am looking at how the abstractions available in functional programming can be used to perform run-time verification on systems specified using Interval Temporal Logic (ITL).
