Austrian Computer Science Day: June 28, 2012

Katalin Fazekas received a Hertha Firnberg Fellowship and will (re-)join FORSYTE to perform research on Incremental SAT and SMT Reasoning for Scalable Verification. Congratulations!

We congratulate Jens Pagel for receiving the 2021 Bill McCune PhD Award in Automated Reasoning! Jens graduated in 2020; his thesis on Decision procedures for separation logic: beyond symbolic heaps (supervised by Florian Zuleger) presents his substantial contributions to the theory of formal verification and automated reasoning, and to verifying heap-manipulating programs in particular.

Thanh-Hai Tran, Igor Konnov and Josef Widder received the Best Paper Award at FORTE21 for their Case Study on Parametric Verification of Failure Detectors. Congratulations!

Congratulations to FORSYTE alumnus Emmanuel Pescosta, who got nominated for the Distinguished Young Alumnus award for his master’s thesis on Bounded Model Checking of Speculative Non-Interference.

Laura Kovács has been awarded with an ERC Consolidator Grant 2020, for her project “ARTIST: Automated Reasoning with Theories and Induction for Software Technology”.

Our PhD student Marcel Moosbrugger won the EPILOG Distinguished Young Alumnus award of the TU Wien, awarding the best master thesis of master students of the Faculty of Informatics at the TU Wien in the 2020 winter semester. Congratulations!
