Research

My research interests include Formal Concept Analysis, Formal Methods, Software Engineering, and Distributed Systems. My PhD thesis explored the application of Formal Concept Analysis to increase the usability of Formal Methods. My Honours research project implemented a platform-independent GUI framework which enabled remote internet access to a spatial database management system. The work explored distributed systems technologies including RMI and CORBA, and was implemented using Java, C++, JFC(Swing) and Qt.
