About Me

Risk and Information research group

Teaching Operating systems (year

2) Real-time and critical

systems (MSc) Interests

Decision support Risk and critical systems

Research Interests

Decision support Bayesian networks Knowledge and data Medical applications

Safety and critical systems Hazards Risk models

General

1. BN decision support: prediction or diagnosis Expertise is a problem area – uncertain

reasoning; Relevant data 2. Statistical Data from the Web

Lots of public data 3. Real-time Programming using Cortex-M3

STM32F4 Real-time applications An interesting software technology (such as

Lustre or Atom)

Happy to discuss project ideas
