I currently hold a senior lecturer position in the automated software engineering group at the department of computer science at the University of York, UK. Previously I was an associate senior lecturer at Mälardalen University in Västerås, Sweden.

Research interests

My research interests include helping engineers to better understand the software-intensive systems they create together with AI agents, for example through flexible modeling that combines the strengths of modeling with the convenience of informal diagramming, and through supporting automated digital engineering pipelines that bring virtual prototyping capabilities early in development. Furthermore, I believe it is imperative that we help engineers to fulfil their ethical responsibilities to improve the public understanding of software-intensive systems.
