My research vision is to make AI trustworthy by close integration of formal methods and programming languages with artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Towards trustworthy computing, my research has focused on simplifying the design-development-deployment pipeline of safe and reliable AI systems.
I have worked on automated controller synthesis, i.e., the automated generation of control systems from a given high-level specification with theoretical guarantees of correctness.
My current research thrusts include:
Upcoming Colloquiums. CISPA Helmholtz Center for Information Security | IST Austria | MPI-SWS | Penn State University | Simon Fraser University | University of Waterloo | Yale University
