- Education:
- BSc Mathematics, University of London (1981)
- PhD Computer Science, City University (2001)
- Employment:
- Research Fellow, City, University of London (1986–present)
- Research Assistant, Royal Holloway University of London (1983–1986)
- Scientific Officer, Defence Operational Analysis Establishment (1981–1983)
His research focuses on reliability modeling of safety-critical systems, particularly through Bayesian Belief Networks, quasi-perfection concepts in software, and conservative claims for system dependability. His work addresses challenges in transferring empirical reliability information between systems, quantifying expert judgments, and establishing confidence bounds for fault-tolerant architectures.
Key publication trends include 15 papers (1991–2018) emphasizing software diversity, probabilistic risk assessment, and mathematical frameworks for system safety. Themes span nuclear reactor protection systems, aviation software, and critical infrastructure interdependencies, with methodological contributions to Bayesian analysis and reliability growth modeling.
