Research
My research interests include software architecture of embedded systems, non-functional aspects in safety-and mission-critical software systems, architecture-based quality evalution and software architecture optimization under uncertainty. I mainly focus on the the model based evaluation of probabilistic properties like reliability, availablity, safety and performance. I have recently completed my PhD at Swinburne University of Technology based on a project funded by the AutoCRC in developing safe and reliable software for automotive systems.
