Michael Schwarz
PhD student in Static Analysis @ TUM (m.schwarz@tum.de)
Since 2019, I am a PhD candidate in Helmut Seidl’s group and a participant in the DFG Research Training Group ConVeY (Continous Verification of Cyber-Physical Systems).
I am interested in Static Analysis and currently work within the field of Sound Static Analysis by Abstract Interpretation. There, we have, e.g., proposed techniques for efficient abstract interpretation of multi-threaded programs, worked on increasing usability by making static analysis incremental, and designed novel analyses for sometimes overlooked features of the C programming language.
I contribute to and currently co-maintain (with Simmo Saan and Karoliine Holter from UTartu) the static analysis framework Goblint for multi-threaded C programs, which serves as the testbed for many of our ideas.
I received a B.Sc. from TUM in 2016, and a M.Sc. from TUM in 2019. During my Master’s, I spent one term on exchange at the University of Waterloo and interned at NTNU as a software engineer for one term.
