Research

Current researh interests are in Program analysis (in particular):

• Program understanding.
• Testing and verification of program featuring rich protocols
• Static analysis aimed at program verification of Java like programs.
• Automatic symbolic resource analysis (gas consumption, dynamic memory, energy, etc)
