About Me

Hello! I am a Postdoctoral Researcher in the Application-oriented Formal Verification group led by Prof. Dr. Bernhard Beckert at KASTEL -- Institute of Information Security and Dependability, Karlsruhe Institute of Technology.

I did my PhD at Saarland University in collaboration with the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS), Saarbrücken, under the supervision of Assoc. Prof. Dr. Eva Darulova.

My primary research areas are: Program Analysis, Approximate Computing, Probabilistic Analysis.
