Personal Info

I'm a research associate at the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford.
I'm a working on verification for infinite-state systems with Prof. Joël Ouaknine.

My research interests are decidability questions in different computational models. Mostly focusing on decidability and complexity in various variants of linear dynamical systems, vector addition games, matrix problems and semi-Thue systems.

I'm also a lecturer at Jesus College teaching core first-year computer science courses.

Before starting this post-doc, I was working on algorithmic verification of string-manipulating programs with Prof. Anthony W. Lin. I did my PhD in Liverpool under supervision of Prof. Igor Potapov, Dr Vesa Halava, and Prof. Paul Spirakis.
