Formal Verification at University of Lugano

Our Lab is a part of Informatics Faculty at University of Lugano. The Lab was established in 2006 when Prof. Sharygina moved from Carnegie Mellon University to University of Lugano after receiving a career award from the Tasso Foundation. The Lab projects focus on automated formal verification with a particular interest in software/hardware model checking, information security, static analysis, abstract interpretation and decision procedures. We create both theoretical frameworks and practical tools to enable sound and scalable verification of industrial-size systems.

For questions about the Lab projects and open positions, contact natasha.sharygina@usi.ch.

We also lead student semestral projects, take a look at the list of topics that we offer.

We have a NEW open PhD position. For more informations, click here.
