About Jessica

My research is in the area of model-based testing and model checking of interactive systems. This interdisciplinary work draws on formal methods, interactive system development, and human computer interaction. I have a particular interest in finding ways to assist in improving the safety and reliability of safety-critical interactive systems. I also have an interest in modelling traffic congestion and ways we can reduce this congestion in order to improve people's daily commutes.
