Short Bio

I obtained my MSc degree with a thesis on model checking concurrent programs late 2012, and my PhD degree in the information flow security of concurrent programs early 2016, both from the Technical University of Denmark. My PhD was under the supervision of Prof. Flemming Nielson and Prof. Hanne Riis Nielson, and contributed to the European Artemis project SESAMO.
I joined MAIS as a Postdoc under the supervision of Prof. Dr. Heiko Mantel from 2016 to 2018. My research at MAIS was concerned with:
  • the compositional verification of security for concurrent programs, using rely-guarantee-style reasoning
  • the verification of data and information flow security for large software systems across the application-library boundary
I contributed to the CRISP project funded by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research.

Research

My research interest lies in the verification of security and safety properties for concurrent and distributed systems via formal methods. In particular, the methods I develop include type systems, techniques for compositional reasoning, and state-space-based techniques. I am also interested in formal verification using the proof assistant Coq.
