I am a full professor at the Faculty of Informatics of the Vienna University of Technology (TU Wien), leading the research group in automated program reasoning- APRe.
 

Research focus:
My research establishes synergies between computer algebra and automated deduction in support of automated reasoning about software systems. As such, my work 

  • enhances automated deduction with computer algebra insights;
  • extends computer algebra methods by automated deduction approaches; 
  • designs hybrid approaches complementing computer algebra and automated deduction; 
  • develops software artefacts combining computer algebra and automated deduction. 

Research directions:

By developing methods based on a tight interactions  between  computer algebra and automated reasoning, I promote research on: 

  • algebraic analysis of systems, in particular for invariant synthesis, termination analysis and probabilistic reasoning; 
  • deductive verification, in particular focusing on safety and security verification; 
  • SMT solving, in particular addressing on-demand theory reasoning; 
  • first-order theorem proving, in particular targeting quantified reasoning with theory extensions.
