e0b7fd620a538ed1e211c81a48d5a5fd research overview <p>My research interests include:</p><ul><li>Adaptive systems&nbsp;</li><li>Analysis and refinement of policies for adaptive systems</li><li>Software engineering for adaptive systems</li><li>Adaptive security and privacy&nbsp;</li></ul><p>My research vision focusses on novel engineering approaches for adaptive software systems that allow ubiquitous digital technologies to be integrated into the&lsquo;smart systems&rsquo; that enhance many aspects of our lives, from social interactions and education, to agriculture, health, policing and sustainable living. To be effective, these systems must be able to adapt and continue work in dynamic environments. My research ensures that the software at the heart of&lsquo;smart systems&rsquo; can continuously satisfy dynamic requirements like performance, security, privacy and usability.</p><div>Some recent projects relevant to this&nbsp;research agenda include:</div><ul><li><strong><a href="http://gow.epsrc.ac.uk/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/R033862/1" rel="nofollow">Citizen Forensics</a></strong>(EPSRC Trust, Identity, Privacy&amp; Security 2 project)</li><li><strong><strong><a href="https://www.stretchproject.org/home" rel="nofollow">STRETCH:&nbsp;Socio-technical Resilience for Targeted Community Healthcare</a></strong>&nbsp;</strong>(EPSRC project)</li><li><a href="http://www9.open.ac.uk/ASAP/"><strong>Adaptive Security and Privacy</strong></a>&nbsp;(ERC Advanced Grant, Nuseibeh /&nbsp;291652)</li><li><a href="http://www9.open.ac.uk/monetizeme/"><strong>Monetize Me</strong></a>&nbsp;(EPSRC NEMODE Project)</li></ul>
