Research Topics

Research projects at different levels are available (Master, PhD, and Undergraduate). All the topics are related to some aspect of safety-critical or mission-critical systems, including design, evaluation, and certification. The main research directions are listed below, and most of them are developed in the context of national or international research projects.

• Prediction of performance and dependability metrics on complex systems, using stochastic models (e.g., see this, this, or this).

• Application of software engineering concepts to formal models, e.g., interfaces, reuse, modularity (e.g., see this, this, or this).

• Automated generation of V&V artifacts form structured models (e.g., see this, this, or this).

• Generative software architectures for the robotics domain (e.g., see this).

• Verification and certification of machine learning algorithms (e.g., see this).

• Definition of domain-specific languages and conceptual models (e.g., see this, this, this, or this).

• Safety analysis of industrial plants and infrastructures (e.g., see this, this, or this).

Please contact me for further information or to discuss other possible topics, I am always open to interesting proposals. You may also want to take a look at my full publications list to have an idea of the kind of topics I am interested in.
