    Personal profile

    Biography

    I am a Professor in Computer Science and the co-Director of the Coventry University Research Centre for Computational Science and Mathematical Modelling. 

    I achieved a PhD in Mathematics from Heriot Watt University, Edinburgh.  I then worked at the Universities of Glasgow and Bath, before securing a permanent position at Coventry University in April 2015.

    I currently lead an ESPRC grant, Pushing Back the Doubly Exponential Wall on Cylindrical Algebraic Decomposition. I also led the EPSRC project Embedding Machine Learning in Quantifier Elimination Procedures and I was also the Coventry site PI for a large EU project on Satisfiability Checking and Symbolic Computation.   I am co-I on two British Council Women in STEM research scholarship projects.

    I am on the committee of the ACM Special Interest Group for Symbolic and Algebraic Manipulation (SIGSAM) and I am an editor for Springer journal, Mathematics in Computer Science.

    Research Interests

    My research expertise is on algorithms of symbolic computation (the automation of symbolic mathematics and logic) including:  new fundamental algorithm development; their implementation in computer algebra systems; their analysis; their optimisation with machine learning technology; their direct application (e.g. in biology and economics) and other areas of computer science.

    I have been recently getting interested in the emerging subfield of MATH-AI.  Both in the application of AI to improve computational mathematics, and in the use of mathematical systems to improve and validate the logical reasoning of AI.
