I am a PhD student in the Software Modeling and Verification Group headed by Professor Joost-Pieter Katoen and the BE-ICS group at CERN. Most of the year I am located at CERN in Geneva.

Research

My research involves applied formal methods for neural networks in control systems. The focus lies on robustness verification, property specification and runtime monitoring.

Previously I have worked on algorithms for neural network robustness verification and applied model checking for Programmable Logic Controllers with the tool PLCverif.

Thesis Projects

If you are interested in writing a Bachelor/Master’s thesis in the area of neural network verification feel free to contact me by mail. You are invited to bring own ideas, or we can develop new ad-hoc topics in ongoing research. Note that, as I am most of my time in Geneva, the supervision is likely to be fully remote.

Teaching

Currently I’m not involved in teaching activities.
