Research Experience
  • Currently a Lecturer in Software Testing at the Department of Computer Science, The University of Sheffield; previously a Lecturer at the Department of Informatics, University of Leicester; and a Research Associate in Software Testing in the Verification and Testing group at Sheffield, working with Gordon Fraser, who is now the Chair of Software Engineering II in Passau, Germany.
Education
  • PhD in Computer Science from the Technical University of Madrid, Spain, advised by Elvira Albert and Miguel Gómez-Zamalloa.
Background
  • His research focuses on automated software engineering, with an emphasis on search-based unit test generation and its application in practice to improve software quality and developers' productivity. He is also interested in system-level testing for eXtended Reality software and has recently started working on causality testing in smart manufacturing. In the past, he worked on bio-inspired computational devices, constraint logic programming, software static analysis, and symbolic execution for software testing.
