Biography

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) with the Education and Practice (EAP) section, the Centre for Computing Science Education research group, and the Formal Analysis, Theory and Algorithms (FATA) section. Until August 2020 I was a Research Fellow in the School of Computing Science at the University of Glasgow. I worked under Prof Dame Muffy Calder on the EPSRC programme grants S4: Science of Sensor Systems Software (2016 -- 2020), Populations: A populations approach to ubicomp systems design (2011 -- 2017), and the EPRSC projects VPS: Verifying Interoperability Requirements in Pervasive Systems (2011) and SIGNAL: Stochastic process algebra for biochemical signalling pathway analysis (2009 -- 2011). In 2008 I obtained a PhD in Computer Science from INPL (nowadays University of Lorraine) and INRIA Nancy-Grand Est, France.

Research interests

My Computing Education research focuses on developing professional competencies across university and work-based learning programs in software engineering, as well as enhancing algorithmic thinking skills. I have been investigating pedagogical approaches such as pair programming in algorithms courses, reflective practice in work-based learning programs, and the integration of socially responsible computing. I am passionate about widening access to computing education and promoting social mobility through degree-level apprenticeships and inclusive educational practices.

My 20+ years research expertise in Formal Methods - techniques for modelling complex systems as abstract mathematical entities amenable to a rigorous analysis of their properties - focuses on formal modelling and analysis, including Markov models, stochastic model checking, and term and graph rewriting. I have worked on a range of interdisciplinary research projects encompassing areas such as: Computational Biology (biochemical networks, membrane systems), Communicating Systems (autonomous systems, vehicular networks, security protocols, sensor networks, smart water networks), Human Computer Interactions (user models, analytics for interactive systems), Computational Social Science.
