Amy Nejati is an Assistant Professor in the Secure and Resilient Systems group at the School of Computing, Âé¶¹´«Ã½, United Kingdom. Prior to this, she was a Postdoctoral Associate at the (MPI-SWS) in Germany, working with Anne-Kathrin Schmuck from July 2023 to May 2024. She also served as a Senior Researcher in the at . She obtained her Ph.D. in from the , within the Hybrid Control Systems Lab under the supervision of . She holds both B.Sc. and M.Sc. degrees in Electrical Engineering. In 2024, she was selected as a .
Her research focuses on developing trustworthy (data-driven) techniques and algorithms for the design, verification, and control of safe and secure autonomous cyber-physical systems (CPS), while providing mathematical guarantees. She integrates interdisciplinary concepts from formal methods, control theory, and data science. Her work addresses a variety of real-world safety-security-critical systems, including robotics, energy, intelligent transportation networks, and automated manufacturing systems.
