Wintersemester 2022/2023

In den Wintersemestern 2022/2023 und 2023/2024 vertrete ich eine vakante Professur an der KIT-Fakultät für Informatik.

Für Fragen zur Vorlesung Grundbegriffe der Informatik können Sie sich an den Übungsleiter Philipp Kern oder mich wenden.

Interests

My research focuses on formal deductive software verification on the level of program code. I am particularly intersted in relational verification, i.e., cases where more than one program is considered for the verification:

  • Regression verification, equivalence checking
  • Algorithm Refinement
  • Verification of relational properties of algorithms
  • Information Flow Security (to a lesser extend)
  • Relational Properties of Software for Automated Production Systems

I am also interested in

  • Intermediate Verification Languages and Interaction
  • Dynamic Logic

Teacher Eduction

I am a contact person for the degree programme "Lehramt an Gymnasien - Teilstudiengang Informatik" (B.Ed./M.Ed/M.Ed.Erg.).

If you are a student with a question regarding the programme; or if you are interested in enrolling in the programme; feel free to contact me. Alternatively, you can contact the study service center Informatics.

I am coordinating the development for the installation of the teaching lab informatics at KIT.
