Overview
I am a research associate in the school of computer science and informatics at Cardiff university. My current research is about cybersecurity in distributed systems via blockchain technologies.
I got my PhD in computer science from Sherbrooke university in Canada. In my PhD research project, a framework was developed in which the automatic composition of dynamic software components has been provided by using a formal method. The framework permitted the realization of a new behavior from a set of available behaviors, through the synthesis of a controller, which delegates each action of the new behavior to an available behavior for execution.
