I am a PhD student at SSRI since October 2011. I joined Simula research labs as part of the OPENCOSS project. I am a member of the CERTUS  Centre for Software Verification and Validation. My project involves greatly on certification of safety-critical systems. The project tries to define a common framework that spans different vertical markets for railways, avionics and automotive Industries and establish an open-source safety certification infrastructure.  

I hold a Msc (2011) in Advanced Software Engineering from the department of computer science, University of Leicester, UK. My Master´s thesis "Learning program models by observing their behavior" was nominated for the best technical project award in 2011 at University of Leicester. My bachelors degree B.E (2008) computer science and engineering was from Anna University, Chennai,India. My research interests are mainly focussed on software engineering and Verification and validation of complex systems. Other research interests are

• Requirements engineering
• Automated Software testing
• Model-driven development
• System Re-engineering
• Machine learning
