After a few years working in aerial and train simulation, and finance, I discovered computerized medicine 15 years ago.

I've been working ever since in the field of medical devices and computer assisted medical intervention. The necessity to formally ensure the robustness and correctness of software destined to be used on patients in the operating room dawned on me since the very beginning...
