I am a PhD student in the Software Modeling and Verification Group headed by Professor J.-P. Katoen.

Research

My research interests include:

• formal verification of probabilistic, heap-manipulating and concurrent programs,
• separation logics,
• termination analysis,
• static program analysis,
• graph-grammars and
• proof assistants such as lean, coq and iris.

I was involved in reviews for:

• CAV 2022 (external reviewer),
• POPL 2023 (external reviewer),
• FM 2023 (external reviewer and external AE reviewer), and
• CAV 2023 (AE reviewer).
