Richard Paige is a Joseph Ip Distinguished Engineering Professor at McMaster University's Department of Computing and Software, Faculty of Engineering. He also holds a part-time position as Professor of Enterprise Systems at the University of York, UK. His primary research focuses on software engineering, particularly model-driven engineering, safety-critical systems, and low-code development. He leads the McMaster Centre for Software Certification (McSCert) and has extensive industry collaborations, including with Rolls-Royce, Leonardo, and NASA.
Paige holds a PhD in Computer Science from the University of Toronto (1997), an MSc from the same institution (1994), and a BSc from McMaster University (1992). He has supervised over 22 PhD and 72 Master’s students, many of whom pursue careers in academia and industry. His funding exceeds $24M CAD from NSERC, Ontario Research Fund, and industry grants.
His research emphasizes model management, assurance cases, and safety-critical systems. Key contributions include the Epsilon framework and advancements in model-driven tools. Paige chairs the STAF conferences and serves on editorial boards for journals like Software and Systems Modeling. He actively promotes open-source tooling and has won multiple best paper awards, including ACM Distinguished Paper at MoDELS (2010, 2017) and the Ten-Year Most Influential Paper Award (2016).
Paige’s teaching focuses on problem-based learning and flipped classrooms, with awards for pedagogical innovation. He also leads interdisciplinary projects, such as SECT-AIR (reducing aerospace software costs) and CROSSMINER (developer-centric knowledge mining).
His work bridges academia and industry, addressing challenges in automotive, healthcare, and aerospace sectors. Current projects include safety assurance for autonomous vehicles and model-driven sustainability evaluation.
