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.
