I received a BSc degree in Mathematics with Computer Science from Queen Mary College, University of London, in 1987. In 1988 I was awarded MSc in the Foundations of Advanced Information Technology at the Department of Computing of Imperial College, University of London. I stayed at Imperial College for several more years while conducting doctorate research, and in 1994 I received a PhD degree for a thesis Local Testing and Implementable Concurrent Processes.

I was appointed to a Lectureship in the School of Computing, University of North London in 1992. From September 1994 to December 1997, I held a position of Associate Professor at the Research Institute for Mathematical Sciences (RIMS) of Kyoto University, Japan. In 1998 I was appointed to the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, University of Leicester. Currently I am a member of the School of Computing and Mathematical Sciences within the College of Science and Engineering at the University of Leicester.


Research

  • Reversing message passing and shared memory concurrent programs with application to debugging.
  • Models of Reversible Computation: reversing CCS and other process calculi; modelling of biochemical systems with reversible process calculi, reversible DI-circuits and reversible cellular automata.
  • Semantics of Reversible Computation: reversible bisimulationis, modal logics, and event structures.
  • Process Calculi: operational semantics; testing and game semantics; behavioural equivalences; proof systems; process calculi with discrete time.
  • Structured Operational Semantics: formats of SOS rules, congruence results; automatic generation of proof systems; automatic generation of rewrite systems; formats for discrete time and timed properties.
  • Modelling in Ubiquitous Computing: location, movement, mobility, communication.
  • Term Rewriting: term rewriting with priorities, termination and confluence; automatic generation of priority term rewrite systems.
