About

Liliana Pasquale is a leading researcher in software engineering, with a focus on self-adaptive systems, requirements engineering, and trustworthy autonomous systems. Her work addresses the critical challenge of building software that can operate reliably under uncertainty, particularly in high-stakes domains like healthcare and robotics. A key contribution is her research on runtime models, as highlighted in her highly cited paper, "Living with Uncertainty in the Age of Runtime Models" (65 citations), which provides foundational insights for designing systems that adapt to changing environments. She has also made significant strides in medical robotics through her paper "Towards automated surgical robotics: A requirements engineering approach" (36 citations), which proposes a rigorous design specification process for developing intelligent surgical robots capable of performing simple actions autonomously. This work bridges the gap between manual teleoperation and automated assistance, advancing the safety and efficacy of robotic surgery. Pasquale’s research has earned her international recognition, including best paper awards and funding for projects on adaptive security and dependable systems. Her contributions continue to shape how engineers build software that is both intelligent and trustworthy.
