Paper “Introducing Certificates to the Hardware Model Checking Competition” received the Distinguished Paper Award at CAV; Paper “Formal Verification of Neural Certificates Done Dynamically” was accepted to RV 2025; Paper “Logic Gate Neural Networks are Good for Verification” received the DARPA award at NeuS; Got the FWF Esprit fellowship from the Austrian Science Fund; Will be attending CAV’25 this summer.
Research Experience
Currently an assistant professor in Computer Science at Leiden University, Netherlands; Previously a postdoctoral researcher in Prof. Thomas Henzinger's group at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria.
Education
PhD: Logical Methods in Computer Science (LogiCS) doctoral program, funded by FWF, LIT AI Lab at Johannes Kepler University Linz, supervised by Prof. Armin Biere; BSc: Department of Computing, Imperial College London, UK, advised by Prof. Alessio Lomuscio.
Background
Research interests include system verification, model checking and certification techniques, hardware verification using SAT-based methods, formal reasoning in multi-agent systems, trustworthy AI and safe autonomy, runtime monitoring for learning-enabled systems, formal verification of neural policies and certificates, theoretical and practical analysis of neural networks in isolation.
Miscellany
Looking to recruit Ph.D. students and happy to discuss about CSC scholarships.
