Full Professor Formal Methods and Tools

The Formal Methods and Tools group (FMT) develops rigorous techniques and tools that are needed for the systematic design and analysis of hardware and software systems. In particular, the FMT group designs validation and verification techniques that support the design of complex hardware and software products, such as embedded systems and smart environments, in relation to modern software engineering practices, such as model-driven design and component-based development. The group has a strong track record in formal testing, model checking, stochastic, real-time and hybrid modeling and validation techniques. 

The group is involved in teaching activities at MSc and BSc level in the Computer Science, Telematics and Embedded Systems programs, in courses that are related to the above topics. 

FMT has an excellent international scientific reputation, and was ranked excellent in the last national research assessment. The young and ambitious team consists of 5 academic staff, 4 postdocs, 10 PhD students, and 3 technical and administrative support staff.
