My main research is in formal, automated techniques and tools for supporting the diagnosis and repair of faults in partial declarative specifications. Methods that are central to my work are model checking, inductive logic programming, abductive reasoning and answer set programming.

My focus has been on developing reasoning methods for safety-critical systems in software engineering including goal operationalisation, vacuity detection in conditional scenarios and obstacle generation. In recent years, this has extended to computational methods for supporting serious crime investigations. I am particularly interested in developing AI-based techniques for behavioural analysis, crime linkage and geographic profiling.
