I am a research scientist in computer science at the University of Virginia.  I work in the Dependability Research Group, studying the use of formal methods in the construction of safety-critical software systems. My major projects are architecting embedded software systems to be survivable, verifying that an implementation has properties set out in a system's formal specification, clarifying the role of natural language in software development, and exploring new technologies for accident investigation and analysis.
