Areas of expertise I have established Design Automation and Verification as a research and teaching area of international recognition here at Bristol.

I set up and now chair the Energy-Aware COmputing workshop series and research initiative. I also lead the "Verification and Validation for Safety in Robots" research theme at the Bristol Robotics Laboratory.

My research activities are focused on the development of system modelling, verification and analysis techniques which allow designers to define a system and to verify or explore its behaviour, e.g. in terms of functional correctness, performance, power dissipation and energy efficiency. My work includes both formal methods and state-of-the-art test-based approaches.
