Résumé 

​

I am Professor of Computer Science and Leader of the Dependable Intelligent Systems (DEIS) Research Group in the University of Hull. I have studied Engineering and Computer Science in the Aristotelian University in Thessaloniki and the University of Cranfield and hold a DPhil in Computer Science from the University of York.

​

Over the last 25 years I have pioneered a body of work on model-based dependability assessment and evolutionary optimisation of complex engineering systems known as Hierarchically Performed Hazard Origin and Propagation Studies (HiP-HOPS). I have also co-authored EAST-ADL, an emerging architecture description language developed as standard by the automotive industry. These technologies have gained wide academic recognition and have been successfully transferred to the automotive, shipping and other industries, where they have been commercialised and successfully deployed in design and engineering processes. I am currently developing technologies for Dependable AI to address the problems of Complexity Intellegence Autonomy and unpredictabilities on Open Systems of Systems.

​

I am actively involved in two technical committees of the International Federation of Automatic Control IFAC on design and control of distributed dependable systems, and has co-founded in 2007 the IFAC Conference on Dependable Control of Discrete Systems (DCDS) which provides the key event on “dependability research” within IFAC. I have co-chaired the 4th edition of DCDS that took place at the University of York in September 2013 and I am co-chairing the International Symposium in Model-Based Safety Assessment that takes place in Trento in 2017.

​

I am presently developing a new strand of research that intersects computer science, philosophy, medicine and art with potentially novel applications and impact on conceptual art, art therapy and educational games.
