Involved in multiple projects, such as 'Automated Verification of Probabilistic Programs' at Oxford University and QUASIMODO, AVACS, VOSS II, and ROCKS at Saarland University. Supervised student projects, including Ernst Moritz Hahn's master thesis on 'Parametric Markov Model Analysis' and Jonathan Bogdoll's bachelor thesis on 'An Experimental Evaluation of Probabilistic Simulation'. Served as a committee member or chair for various international conferences, such as LICS, TACAS, ICALP, and more.
Research Experience
Currently a research professor at the Key Laboratory of System Software, Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences, leading the probabilistic model checking team. Previously an associate professor at the Language-Based Technology section, DTU Compute, Technical University of Denmark, and a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oxford.
Education
Obtained a Diploma Degree and a PhD (Dr. Ing.) from Saarland University. The PhD thesis was titled 'Decision Algorithms for Probabilistic Simulations'.
Background
Research interests include probabilistic models, simulation reduction, decision algorithms for probabilistic simulation preorders, abstraction and model checking. Leading the development of several tools such as PRODeep, ROLL, and ePMC (formerly known as IscasMC). Currently leading the 'Trustworthy Intelligent Systems' group, aiming to ensure the correctness of complex intelligent systems involving both perception components (e.g., deep neural networks) and classical components for planning, decision, and control.
Miscellany
