  Research Associate

  Within this role, I was responsible for investigating and developing a co-design solution for embedded real-time Java applications. This project was sponsored by Sun Microsystems and the Department of Trade and Industry in the UK. Working together with hardware design experts, I designed and developed a framework whereby Java software and IP cores could be used interchangeably within the same application. The project results were published in the academic literature.

  ETAS

  Jul 2007 - Sept 2011

  In this role, I was responsible for researching new approaches to the development and testing of automotive software in virtualised environments. My main areas of research were the use of simulated middleware for early validation and verification of embedded software, and the use of virtualised hardware for extracting timing properties of applications without code intrusion. This work was carried out in collaboration with a large corporate research organisation with the specific goal of transferring these research results into products for exploitation by embedded application developers.

This role involved meeting customers, understanding the challenges they face with these technologies, and researching and prototyping solutions that address these problems. Attracting customer funding for research and innovation projects was a key responsibility of thisposition. I helped secure over 336K Euro of customer funding that sponsored multi-core research in 2009 and a further 336K Euro in 2010 that sponsored research into virtualisation topics. Show less
