This is a recurring event: View all events in the series “Science and Technology Webinar Series”
In April 2024 The School of Science and Technology (SST) at City, University of London is launching a monthly webinar series. Each month will feature a new topic, delivered by an expert within the field, and will showcase exciting new ideas and research currently taking place in the School. Sessions will take place on zoom and consist of an hour’s lecture followed by 30 minutes for audience questions.
In April, Dr Peter Popov will join us for a webinar on Safety assessment of autonomous systems.
Abstract
The talk will provide an overview of the essential concepts used in safety assessment of cyber-physical systems such as safety cases, used widely in safety assessment in Europe and North America. He will explain the challenges in safety assessment of intelligent systems using components built with machine learning and Artificial Intelligence and will focus on autonomous vehicles.
Speaker
Dr Peter Popov is Reader in Systems Dependability in the Centre for Software Reliability, City, University of London. He worked and consulted in the areas of computer and software dependability in several counties in Europe and in the USA, was a visiting scientist at the Coordinated Science Laboratory (CSL) at the University of Illinois at Urbana Champaign (USA), Duke University (USA), LAAS - CNRS in Toulouse, France, and the University Federico II, in Naples, Italy.
His research interests include dependability assessment of computer-based systems. He is known for his work on probabilistic modelling for dependability assessment, especially of fault tolerant software using “design diversity”.
His current research, which started as part of the Intel Collaborative Research Institute on Safe Automated Vehicles (ICRI-SAVe), is focussed on probabilistic modelling for safety assessment of autonomous vehicles and on cyber-resilience of Connected and Autonomous Vehicles (CAVs).
