Dr. Richard Banach

Senior Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Manchester.

Research areas:

My main research interests at present are:

  • Hybrid and cyberphysical systems.
  • Hybrid Event-B: its definitiion, theory and implementation.
  • Retrenchment, a means of formalising more of informal design. See the Retrenchment Homepage.
  • Application of formal methods to problems involving continuous mathematics.
  • Formal methods in general, and their relationship to wider systems engineering issues.
  • Blockchain applications and architectures.
  • Aspects of cryptography and security.
  • Bond Graph theory.
  • Quantum Computing.

    Other research interests include:

  • Other technical aspects of formal methods techniques: regular relations;
        relational aspects of specification theory and programming methodology;
        concurrency theory and its applications.
