About

I am a Professor of Computing Science in the School of Computing at Newcastle University. I am also an Adjunct Professor at McMaster University, Canada. My research interests centre on the theory of distributed and concurrent systems, including both theoretical aspects of their semantics and application of formal techniques to the modelling, synthesis and verification of such systems. I have also investigated non-interleaving semantics of priority systems, and the relationship between temporal logic and process algebras.
