Academic research in model-driven engineering and system interoperability

About

My research investigates how combined modelling methods can improve interoperability across heterogeneous systems. I am particularly interested in integrating multi-level modelling and multi-view modelling to create flexible yet consistent representations of complex systems.

A central theme of my work is consistency management in collaborative modelling environments, especially where different stakeholders work with overlapping views of a shared underlying model.

Research Interests

Selected Projects

• Combined Modelling for Interoperability
  Developing an integrated approach that combines multi-level and multi-view modelling to improve interoperability across heterogeneous systems.
• Consistency Management Across Views
  Investigating how consistency can be preserved when multiple views overlap on a shared underlying model.
• Digital Twin Modelling
  Exploring modelling support for interoperable and consistent digital twin systems in complex environments.
