Alexander (Sascha) Romanovsky is a Professor in the CSR.
His main research interests are system dependability, fault tolerance, software architectures, exception handling, error recovery, system structuring and verification of fault tolerance.
He received a M.Sc. degree in Applied Mathematics from Moscow State University and a PhD degree in Computer Science from St. Petersburg State Technical University. He was with this University from 1984 until 1996, doing research and teaching. In 1991 he worked as a visiting researcher at ABB Ltd Computer Architecture Lab Research Center, Switzerland. In 1993 he was a visiting fellow at Istituto di Elaborazione della Informazione, CNR, Pisa, Italy.
In 1993-94 he was a post-doctoral fellow with the Department of Computing Science, University of Newcastle upon Tyne. In 1992-1998 he was involved in the Predictably Dependable Computing Systems (PDCS) ESPRIT Basic Research Action and the Design for Validation (DeVa) ESPRIT Basic Project. In 1998-2000 he worked on the Diversity in Safety Critical Software (DISCS) EPSRC/UK Project. Prof Romanovsky was a co-author of the Diversity with Off-The-Shelf Components (DOTS) EPSRC/UK Project and was involved in this project in 2001-2004. In 2000-2003 he was in the executive board of Dependable Systems of Systems (DSoS) IST Project.
In 2004-2007 he was the Coordinator of the FP6 IST Rigorous Open Development Environment for Complex Systems Project (RODIN) - see http://rodin.cs.ncl.ac.uk/.
Prof Romanovsky is now the Coordinator of the major FP7 Integrated Project on Industrial Deployment of System Engineering Methods Providing High Dependability and Productivity (DEPLOY, 2008-2012) - http://www.deploy-project.eu/.
He is a co-investigator of the TrAmS EPSRC/UK platform grant on Trustworthy Ambient Systems (2007-2011) and the principle investigator of the new EPSRC/RSSB research project SafeCap on Overcoming the Railway Capacity Challenges without Undermining Rail Network Safety (2011-2014).
