  • Research Interests

    My main research interests lie in the area of artificial intelligence for distributed decision making in complex adaptive systems. I am interested in model driven engineering, distributed and cloud computing, verification and validation of distributed systems, and exploring issues in real, deployed, complex systems. I lead the Complex Systems program within the Centre for Distributed and Intelligent Technologies. My education research interests lie in the areas of curriculum design, cognitive load theories, and software engineering best practices.

    Centre for Distributed and Intelligent Technologies

    My discipline research is in the area of systems, where I am interested in modeling and understanding the performance and behavior of large-scale distributed and complex systems. I lead the Complex Systems Program in the Centre for Distributed and Intelligent Technologies. If you are interested in a PhD or a Masters by research project, please visit the relevant websites for ideas about projects or proposals. 

    Computer Science Education Research

    My education reserach interests include understanding and improving student programming strategies, identifying at-risk students, improving the teaching of software engineering, and designing computer science curricula that is engaging and actual.
