Curriculum Vitae

Research Activities

• Static analysis of programs, focused especially (though not only) on programs with pointers and dynamic data structures, concurrency, performance analysis, or applications in compilers.
• Formal analysis and verification, especially for parametric and infinite-state systems, or high-level specifications and models of embedded systems.
• Dynamic analysis and testing, particularly for concurrent programs and performance analysis.
• Automata, logics and their decision procedures, logic programming – for verification and beyond.
