Her research area primarily focuses on developing, comparing, and applying ontologies within the safety and security domains, particularly in complex systems such as systems of systems (SoSs). It aims to integrate and align heterogeneous knowledge from various sources using standardized ontologies to enhance safety analysis (including hazard identification and risk assessment). It also emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of safety and security knowledge, drawing from various fields to provide a comprehensive understanding.
Key aspects of her research include 1) systematic literature reviews and standard compliance, 2) challenges in ontology alignment, 3) comparison and standardization of ontologies, and 4) ontology development and application in systems of systems. Her research significantly contributes to enhancing understanding and methodologies around the use of ontologies in managing and mitigating hazards and threats in complex systems, with a dual focus on safety and security aspects.
She is involved in the following projects: SERENDIPITY (Secure and dependable platforms for autonomy)
DPAC (Dependable Platforms for Autonomous Systems and Control)
MoDEV (Model-Based DevOps for Cyber-Physical System Product Lines)
iSecure (Developing Predictable and Secure IoT for Autonomous Systems)
ORPHEUS (Systematic and reliable theory for model compilation).
Licentiate thesis: Hazard analysis method for cyber-physical system-of-systems.
