I'm generally interested in formal methods for building dependable systems and understanding complex systems. With the help of fully automatic methods, we aim at proving properties that we want these systems to satisfy, inferring properties, that means discovering properties about systems whose behaviour is difficult to understand, or synthesising systems that satisfy given properties.
