- 04/23 I gave a talk at GT DAAL 23 about Strategy Learning from timed automata
Research interests
I’m interested in a broad variety of subjects summed up as “Using formal methods to verify and control complex systems”.
Here a non-exhaustive list of things that fall in this category:
linear temporal logic, ω-automata, model checking, reactive controller synthesis, timed automata, dynamical systems, hybrid systems, regions of attractions, proofs of stability, SAT, SMT, path and task planning, convex optimization
I’m also very much “a tool guy”, that is I’m mostly interested in approaches/algorithms which I can also implement (python or, preferably, C++). I also contribute to spot.
For a list of my publications see here (google) or here (dblp).
People I work / worked with in no particular order (Sorry if I forgot someone…).
Nicolas Perrin-Gilbert, Alexandre Duret-Lutz, Vincent Padois, Nicolas Markey, Patricia Bouyer, Pauline Maurice, Florian Renkin, Adrien Pommellet, Sven Dziadek, Uli Fahrenberg
