internationally recognised as an expert in dependability assessment and justification of digital systems in the
nuclear industry. As a leader and entrepreneur, she led Adelard’s growth until acquisition in 2022 and set up
Themistoclea in 2025. She has pioneered the UK approach to justifying digital devices for nuclear facilities,
