Education

Chris Tofts studied mathematics as an undergraduate at Clare College, Cambridge, followed by a Diploma in Computer Science from the same college. He went on to do a PhD supervised by Robin Milner in the Laboratory for Foundations of Computer Science at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland.

Career

Tofts' postdoctorate research saw some of the first applications of

process algebra to the study of the behaviour of animals and disease processes, which led to his interest in the correctness of simulation models.[2]
