Research area

My area of expertise is formal specification and verification of concurrent systems so as to guarantee their appropriate behaviour, using automata or Petri nets models, as well as parametric models. In order to tackle the well-known state space explosion problem, the research I develop exploits modularity in the models, proposes distributed approaches, and algorithms for parameter synthesis.
