I work in the area of formal methods for analysis of concurrent systems, more specifically on behavior semantics of systems. I am interested in coalgebra, an abstract unifying framework for studying various transition systems based on category theory, and more concretely in probabilistic and real-time systems. My recent interests stretch all the way to concurrent data structures.


I am also a visiting lecturer at FCSE, Ss. Cyril and Methodius University, Skopje, Macedonia.

Funding

  1. Personal grant of the Austrian Science Fund FWF Compositionality in Coalgebraic Process Theory (LEGO-CPT), V125-N18. March 1, 2009 to February 28, 2013.

  2. I am involved in the National Research Network RiSE granted by the Austrian Science Fund FWF. March 2011 to March 2015.

  3. I took part in the EU Network of Excellence on Embedded Systems Design ArtistDesign.

Past

  1. Elise Richter fellow, postdoc and project leader, Computational Systems Group, Department of Computer Sciences, University of Salzburg, March 1, 2009 to February 28, 2013.

  2. Postdoc with Christoph Kirsch, Computational Systems Group, Department of Computer Sciences, University of Salzburg, March 1, 2007 to February 28, 2009.

  3. Before joining the Computational Systems group in Salzburg, from October 2005 till March 2007, I enjoyed working as a postdoc with Bart Jacobs, in the great Security of Systems group (now Digital Security group), Department of Computer Science (now Institute for Computing and Information Sciences), at Radboud University Nijmegen, the Netherlands.

  4. Before Nijmegen, I spent some wonderful years (2001 - 2005) working as a PhD student in Jos Baeten's Formal Methods (FM) group (now no longer existing), Department of Computer Science, at TU Eindhoven. My supervisor was Erik de Vink. I defended my thesis in Eindhoven on November 3, 2005. Follow the next link for information and photos of my defense.

  5. Originally, I come from Macedonia . I studied and worked there as a teaching and research assistant at the Institute of Informatics (now part of FCSE), Faculty of Natural Sciences and Mathematics in Skopje.
