Previous Experience, Achievements, & Education
I am a part-time lecturer at the University of Bremen.
▪
Lately, I participated in the Dagstuhl seminar on the Resilience and Antifragility of Autonomous Systems (RAAS) and was invited as a speaker at the Lorentz workshop on the Engineering of Reliable Autonomous Systems (ERAS).
▪
Previously, I worked at the University of Bremen
in the real-time and distributed
systems lab led by Jan Peleska.
▪
I am the developer of YAP,
a risk-informed controller synthesis technique.
▪
I gave a talk in the journal-first track of FM'23 about our work on controller synthesis.
▪
I was granted an AAIP Fellowship ('21-'23) supporting my
collaboration with the University of York (UoY).
▪
At UoY, I worked with Radu Calinescu on
verified controller synthesis for collaborative robots, supported
by the Lloyd's Register Foundation
and the Assuring Autonomy International Programme.
▪
For my research on risk handling in autonomous
machines, advised by Jim Woodcock and Ana Cavalcanti,
I was awarded a DFG Research Fellowship at the University of York ('17-'19).
▪
I started my research on this topic at the
Technical University of Munich (TUM), advised by
Manfred Broy ('15-'17).
▪
I received my
PhD and MSc degrees from TUM.
▪
Our study of static
analysis tools in practice, published during my PhD, got a best paper award at the 4th Software Quality Days 2012 in Vienna.
