About Me

I'm currently working as a lecturer at Kiel University. Before that I worked in the Dependable System Group led by Dirk Nowotka at Kiel University as a Post Doc. I received my PhD from Kiel University targeting different aspects of quantifier-free first-order logic theories over strings, especially solving formulae involving atoms of the aforementioned theory. This was under the supervision of Dirk Nowotka. Next to string constraints, my research includes formal verification, combinatorics on words, and formal languages in general.
