My research spans several areas, which include software engineering, concurrency and formal methods. I am interested in theories and tools for developing safe distributed systems. I am particularly interested in the formal foundations of service coordination and composition, business processes and their transactional behaviour, and the theory and application of behavioural types. Most recently, I have been working on the extension of Multiparty Session Types with logics to enable Design by Contract for concur rency, and the effective verification of real-time systems.
I belong to the following research groups:
Moreover, I am Associate Member of the Kent Interdisciplinary Research Centre in Cyber Security (KirCCS), and a collaborator of the Mobility Reading Group where I am contributing to extending Scribble with assertions and time.
