Biographical Sketch

André Platzer is an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, USA. His interests include logic in computer science, cyber-physical systems, programming languages, and formal methods.

André Platzer developed logics of dynamical systems, called differential dynamic logics for hybrid systems, distributed hybrid systems, stochastic hybrid systems, and hybrid games, and he studied their theory, practice, and applications. He studied the proof theory of hybrid systems and developed complete axiomatizations of relative to discrete or continuous dynamics. André Platzer introduced compositional proof techniques, including differential invariants that can verify hybrid systems without solving their differential equations. He led the development of the theorem provers KeYmaera for hybrid systems and KeYmaeraD for distributed hybrid systems that have been used successfully to verify safety-critical applications in automotive, aviation, railway, and medical and ground roboticss.

André Platzer obtained a Master's degree in computer science with a minor in mathematics from the University of Karlsruhe (TH), Germany, in 2004, and a Ph.D. degree in computer science from the University of Oldenburg, Germany, in 2008. Since 2008, he has been on the faculty in the Computer Science Department at Carnegie Mellon University in the Programming Languages and the Formal Methods groups. He published a book on "Logical Analysis of Hybrid Systems: Proving Theorems for Complex Dynamics".

Among other awards, André Platzer received an ACM Doctoral Dissertation Honorable Mention Award, an NSF CAREER Award, the Best Paper Awards at TABLEAUX'07 and at FM'09. André Platzer was also named one of the Brilliant 10 Young Scientists by the Popular Science magazine 2009 and was named one of the AI's 10 to Watch 2010 by the IEEE Intelligent Systems Magazine.
