Prior to his job and role at Loughborough University, from 1st of September 2011 to 31st August 2013, Dr Ogunshile was working at the prestigious Surrey Space Centre, The University of Surrey, UK as a Post Doctoral Research Fellow.

Dr Ogunshile is a passionate British Computer Scientist, Software Engineer, System Designer, Scientific Inventor, Goal Getter, Achiever and a Gentleman.

Dr Ogunshile has diversified experience having successfully worked as a Software Engineer, Intranet Manager, Systems Manager, Teaching Assistant and Senior Research Scientist in Software and Systems Engineering on other occasions.

Dr Ogunshile is a Software professional with over 15 years broad experience covering analysis and design, development, service, testing, technical writing, user training, team leading and negotiation. Advocate for collaboration and adoption of new technologies to improve information sharing and collaboration. Focused on a user-centric approach to software development to ensure usable software that solves real problems for real people.

Previously, Dr Ogunshile graduated with an MSc(Eng) in Advanced Software Engineering (2005) following a BEng(Hons) in Software Engineering (2003) and a Ph.D in the subject of Computer Science (2011) all at The University of Sheffield, England, UK. The University of Sheffield is a member of the prestigious Russell Group of research intensive universities.

His Ph.D thesis was titled: A Machine with Class: A Framework for Object Generation, Integration and Language Authentication: (FROGILA).

Dr Ogunshile's research interests address the intersections of theoretical computer science (i.e. the use of formal techniques like X-Machines and Communicating X-machines) for Automated Specification, Verification and Testing of Software and Hardware, Model Based System Engineering, Object-Oriented Languages, Type Theory, Cloud Computing, Big Data, Machine Learning, Robotics, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Internet of Things, Cyber-Security and Natural Language Processing.

The goal of Dr Ogunshile's research is ultimately to provide better tools to aid in the engineering of reliable, efficient and portable applications for modern computer systems. Hence, his research revolves around the integration and development of formal techniques and Machine learning techniques for the development of automated tools, their design, specification, verification and testing with respect to complex scalable object-oriented software and hardware systems within an integrated and collaborative development environment.

Dilshan Jayatilake obtained his BSc degree in Information Technology from the Sri Lanka Institute of Information Technology and worked in the capacity of an Information Technology executive attached to the Galadari Hotel. He then worked as a software engineer for Micro Research Group (Pvt) Ltd in Sri Lanka attached to a research-based software development project with tasks to develop specialised optimisation algorithms. Dilshan joined UWE Bristol in 2016 and obtained his MSc in Information Technology, where he successfully completed research on mathematical aspects of blackjack card counting algorithms. Then, he joined another master's degree at UWE Bristol in Software Engineering to advance his software engineering education, where he developed interest in the subject area of cancer care informatics. He has successfully completed research on developing a business process driven change management framework applied and validated using a cancer care functional area, namely the Cell Therapy and Applied Genomics (CTAG) of King Hussain Cancer Center (KHCC), where the CTAG processes were developed using BMPNS 2.0 and validated by software engineering education, where he developed interest in the subject area of cancer care informatics. He has successfully completed research on developing a business process driven change management framework applied and validated using a cancer care functional area, namely the Cell Therapy and Applied Genomics (CTAG) of King Hussain Cancer Center (KHCC), where the CTAG processes were developed using BMPNS 2.0 and validated by earlier KHCC research. Currently, Dilshan is pursuing further advanced research in software engineering with reference using formal verification and machine learning methodologies in healthcare domain within the context of a PhD journey.

Khoa Phung obtained his BSc in Computing and MSc in Information Technology from University of the West of England (UWE) in 2018 and 2019, respectively. He then started working at Invest West which is a start-up company based in Bristol. At Invest West, he developed a digital platform to help connect investors to businesses in need of development in the South West of England. Currently, Khoa is pursuing further advanced research in improving software fault prediction by using Stream X-Machine – a formal modelling method – and machine learning techniques within the context of a PhD journey.
