Her research interests include autonomic and organic computing, software engineering for self-adaptive and self-organising systems, component and service-oriented architectures and interdisciplinary solutions for managing complex computing systems. She received a PhD in computer science and electronic engineering from Dublin City University (2006). Before joining Telecom ParisTech (in 2009), she has been an active researcher at University of Grenoble, Orange Labs, INRIA Rhône Alpes and Dublin City University. Her main publications concentrate on the software engineering of self-adaptive and self-organising systems, including a Springer book on Autonomic Computing (2013). In parallel, she has started investigating the application of her research to adjacent areas such as artificial life, unconventional computing and socio-technical systems.
