I have no special talents. I am only passionately curious. - A. Einstein
I am a Lecturer in Computer Science within the Department of Computer Science at the University of York, UK. I received a BSc in Computer Science from the University of Cyprus (2010), and an MSc in Software Engineering (2011) and a PhD in Computer Science (2016) both from the University of York, UK.
PhD studentship available on developing assured and scalable self-adaptation techniques for the engineering of trustworthy autonomous robotic teams.
I am currently recruiting PhD candidates in the areas of Software Engineering and Trustworthy Robotics and Autonomous Systems. If interested, get in touch.
