Marta Zofia Kwiatkowska FRS MAE (born 1957) is a Polish theoretical computer scientist based in the United Kingdom.[1][2]

Kwiatkowska is Professor of Computing Systems[3] in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Oxford, England,[4] and a Fellow of Trinity College, Oxford.[5] Her research focuses on developing modelling and automated verification techniques for computing systems in order to guarantee safe, secure, reliable, timely and resource-efficient operation.[6][7]

Education

[edit]

Kwiatkowska received her Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Computer Science with distinction summa cum laude from Jagiellonian University in Kraków, Poland. She obtained her PhD in Computer Science from the University of Leicester in 1989.[8][9]

Career and research

[edit]

After obtaining her PhD, Kwiatkowska was assistant professor at Jagiellonian University, (1980–1988); research scholar and lecturer in Computer Science at University of Leicester (1984–1994); and lecturer in Computer Science, reader in Semantics for Concurrency, and professor of Computer Science at University of Birmingham (1994–2007). Joining the University of Oxford in 2007, Kwiatkowska was the first female professor in the Department of Computer Science and now heads the Automated Verification research theme.[10][11]

Kwiatkowska's research develops models and analysis methods for complex systems, as found in computer networks, biological organisms and electronic devices.[12][13][14] Kwiatkowska led development of the PRISM probabilistic model checker;[6][15] PRISM has been downloaded over 79,000 times and there are over 400 papers by external research teams using PRISM (as at January 2021).[16][17]

Instrumental in the development of probabilistic and quantitative methods in verification on the international scene, Kwiatkowska’s recent work incorporates synthesis from quantitative specifications with a focus on safety and robustness for machine learning and AI.[6][18] A member of the Global Partnership on Artificial Intelligence (GPAI) 'Responsible AI Working Group', and the Royal Society's 'Digital Technology and the Planet Working Group', Kwiatkowska advocates responsible adoption of trustworthy AI.[19][20]

As a senior member of OxWoCS,[21] contributor to the Perspektywy Women in Tech Summit and adviser to the Suffrage Science Award (2016),[22] Kwiatkowska encourages women to pursue careers in science.

Kwiatkowska serves on the editorial boards of Information and Computation,[23] Formal Methods in System Design,[24] Logical Methods in Computer Science,[25] Science of Computer Programming[26] and the Royal Society's Open Science.[27]

Projects

[edit]
  • FUN2MODEL: From FUNction-based TO MOdel-based automated probabilistic reasoning for DEep Learning (2019–2024), a European Research Council (ERC) Advanced Grant.
  • Mobile Autonomy: Enabling a Pervasive Technology of the Future (2015–2021), an Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) Programme Grant (co-I).

Selected talks and lectures

[edit]

Awards and honours

[edit]
  • Fellow of the European Laboratory for Learning and Intelligent Systems (ELLIS Society), 2020.[28]
  • Awarded the BCS Ada Lovelace Medal for 'her research in probabilistic and quantitative verification. Since 2001 she has led the development of the highly influential probabilistic model checker PRISM', 2019.[29]
  • Fellow of the Royal Society, (FRS), 2019.[30][31]
  • Became the first female winner of the Royal Society Milner Award in recognition of ‘her contribution to the theoretical and practical development of stochastic and quantitative model checking’, 2018.[30]
  • Jointly awarded the HVC 2016 Award for her ‘contributions to probabilistic model checking and, more generally, to formal verification’, 2016.[32]

Kwiatkowska was awarded an Honorary Doctorate at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in 2014, and is Fellow of ACM, Fellow of EATCS, Fellow of the BCS, a member of Academia Europaea, Fellow of Polish Society of Arts & Sciences Abroad,[33][34][35][36] and member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences.[37]

Personal life

[edit]

Kwiatkowska lives in Oxford with her husband, with whom she has a daughter.[citation needed]
