Lecturer in the Theory and Applications of Formal Systems research group at Loughborough University, UK.

Research Interest

My research interest spans over the areas of Algorithms and Combinatorics on sequences, Bioinformatics Algorithms, and Formal Languages.
I am also interested in Trace Monoids and Pattern Inference (Learning Theory).
Sometime ago I have published some work related to the formalism of networks of processors, and that of natural language processing.
