Research

I am a (now former) Ph.D. student of Pr. Andreas Podelski. I am working on the verification of rule programs as handled by Business Rules Management Systems.

I have defended my thesis on Wednesday, July 11, 2012. The title of the thesis is Verification of Business Rules Programs. Here is the summary in English (plus Acknowledgements and Table of Contents), and the summary in German.

The final version of my thesis is available from the Freiburg Document Repository (FreiDok). It has been published by Springer Verlag in December 2013 (ISBN 978-3-642-40037-7).
