How to print a rainbow (2020)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

In the 17th century Isaac Newton demonstrated that white light consists of the superposition of different wavelengths visible as colour on a screen. How colour was perceived by a human observer was explained by the work of Thomas Young and Hermann vo... Read More about How to print a rainbow.

The rise of science comedy: Comparing shows at science and arts festivals (2019)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Live science comedy shows have exploded in the past decade in the UK. These shows can range from stand-up comedy to musical theatre to panel shows and variety shows. However, there is very little empirical work exploring the rise in live science come... Read More about The rise of science comedy: Comparing shows at science and arts festivals.

A semantically-enriched goal-oriented requirements engineering framework for systems of systems using the i* framework applied to cancer care (2019)
Thesis

In recent years, monolithic systems are being composed into bigger systems as Systems of Systems (SoSs). This evolution of SoS raises several software engineering key challenges, such as the management of emerging inconsistent goals and requirements,...
