Research Interests

My research interests include formal verification and automata theory. I have worked (and still am) on model checking of various types of systems, different aspects of temporal logic, as well as synthesis and game solving. I am also working on applications of formal methods to biological modeling.

Short Bio

I completed my PhD in 2005 in the Weizmann Institute of Science under the supervision of Amir Pnueli.
Between 2005-2007 I was a postdoc in Tom Henzinger's group in the Ecoloe Polytechnique Federal de Lausanne.
Between 2007-2010 I was a research Fellow in Imperial College London working with Michael Huth.
