Personal profile
General
I am a Senior Lecturer in Computer Science in Aston University (since May 2013). At the moment I am the PI of the EPSRC Project Twenty20Insight (2020-2023)(https://gow.epsrc.ukri.org/NGBOViewGrant.aspx?GrantRef=EP/T017627/1)
In 2019 I was granted the Leverhulme Fellowship "QuantUn: quantification of uncertainty using Bayesian surprises to be developed in Aston and Inria (Rennes and Paris, France). Before joining Aston, I was a Marie Curie Fellow at INRIA Paris-Rocquencourt , France (May 2011- May 2013) under the EU Marie-Curie Fellowship (Grant) called Requirements@run.time: Requirements-aware Systems. I am also a Visiting Researcher at Lancaster University (May 2011 – May 2015). Before, I was lecturer and researcher in the Computing School at the Universidad Central de Venezuela.

Research Interests
I am interested in all aspects of software modelling and specially the application of model-driven techniques, during the development and operation of intelligent autonomous systems. I am particularly interested in what I call models@run.time, the use of models and model-driven techniques during runtime. Specific topics:
- intelligent autonomous and self-adaptive systems
- decision-making under uncertainty
- models@run.time
- model-driven engineering
