My research interests are at the intersection of computer systems dependability & security and data science. I am particularly interested in combined model and data-driven design and evaluation of resilient cyber-physical systems (CPS), with a focus on safety and security assurance of medical devices and systems, surgical robots, and autonomous systems.
