Research and Biography

Publications: Google Scholar citations  DBLP  Scopus  Social Media: Twitter @nellybencomo Funding: EPSRC FundingI exploit the interdisciplinary aspects of software engineering, which encompass both technical and human concerns, while developing techniques for intelligent, autonomous, and highly distributed systems.

I am an Associate Professor in the CS Department at Durham University. Earlier, I was a Senior Lecturer (equiv. Associate Professor) in the Computer Science Department at Aston University. From September 2020 I am the PI of the EPSRC Twenty20Insight research project. In 2019 I was granted the Leverhulme Fellowship "QuantUn: quantification of uncertainty using Bayesian surprises." Before, I was a Marie Curie Fellow at INRIA Paris - Roquencourt. The Marie Curie project is called Requirements-aware Systems (nickname: Requirements@run.time). Before, that I was a Senior Research Associate at Lancaster University (UK) where I also got my PhD.

Miscellaneous

In other words, what is really important!

In Durham, I am planning to enjoy Durham County, Scotland and the Lake District, among other beautiful places in the North and East of the UK :)

During my time in Birmingham, I was not working. I liked walking on the hills (the Malvern Hills, Snowdonia), running, dancing, taking pictures, hanging around with my family and friends, and Talisker, my dog. I enjoy running by the canal in Birmingham. I wish I could have more time for these activities.

During my time in Paris, I used to go to Museums & Cafes :) if my daughter did not decide something else. I also did some exercise with my dog, running near Inria and by the river Seine in Paris. Happy days!

I love eating good food, and I am MAD about sushi. I LOVE chocolate; BTW, dark and bitter chocolate; if it is not at least 75% Cocoa, that is not chocolate :). If chocolate is from Venezuela, that is even better!
