Formal methods, learning, and adaptive software-intensive systems

My research focuses on the design, analysis, and assurance of complex software-intensive and cyber-physical systems operating under uncertainty. I investigate how formal modeling and verification can be combined with learning-based techniques—including automata learning and AI-driven components—to support adaptability, explainability, and runtime decision-making. Application domains include human–machine teaming, robotics, and data-driven digital systems.
