About

Hey! I’m Felix, a research (and development) specialist in the Security and Trust of Software Systems (SaToSS) group led by Sjouke Mauw at the University of Luxembourg. My main research area is formal methods for concurrent and distributed systems as well as security protocols. If you are curious about details, my Research section is the place to go for publications and my Software section gives an overview of software projects.

Prior, I was a PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems, co-advised by Rupak Majumdar and Damien Zufferey. Back then, my main research focus has been the analysis of message-passing programs. These consist of a collection of processes which interact exclusively by exchanging messages asynchronously. We devised algorithms to check that such programs behave as they should. In 2022, I spent half a year with Nikos Vasilakis at MIT CSAIL working on the shell script parallelization framework PaSh.

Even earlier, I got a Masters degree from University of Saarland. During that time, I did a half-year research internship at Imperial College London with Emanuele D’Osualdo and Philippa Gardner.

By the way, feel free to (asynchronously 😉) send me a message if something piques your interest, or you just want to say hi!
