Simon Jantsch
I am a computer scientist working on theoretical and practical topics in formal verification.
Currently, I work as a software engineer for Siemens EDA on formal verification of hardware circuits.
Before that, I did my PhD at the TU Dresden under the supervision of Christel Baier. My thesis is about certificates and witnesses for probabilistic model checking. Further research areas that I have contributed to are automata theory and causality-inspired algorithms and explanation methods in verification.
