- Duration: until November 2023
Applications are invited for the post of Post-Doctoral Research Assistant in
the Computer Science Department at Royal Holloway, University of London.
The post holder will have an exciting opportunity to work on the EPSRC-funded
"Verification of Hardware Concurrency via Model Learning" (CLeVer) project
(EP/S028641/1), led by Prof. Alexandra Silva (UCL/Cornell) and Matteo
Sammartino (RHUL), in collaboration with ARM, world-leading designer of
multi-core chips.
For an informal discussion about the post, please contact Dr. Matteo Sammartino

# Brief description of the project
Digital devices are increasingly complex, therefore there is a pressing need to
automate the assessment of their correctness. Formal verification provides
highly effective techniques to assess the correctness of systems. However,
formal models are usually built by humans, and as such can be error-prone and
inaccurate.
The project aims to develop a novel verification framework for hardware, which
combines learning, testing and model-checking. Not all models are suitable for
this purpose and hence specific classes of models will need to be developed,
depending on the task at hand. Subsequently, learning and verification
techniques for these classes need to be devised and tested in realistic case
studies. We have an industrial partner, ARM, that will provide valuable
guidance on the design and development of the aforementioned tasks.
# The ideal candidate
We are looking for candidates with a PhD in one of the following areas:
model-based testing and verification, model learning, automated analysis of
hardware systems. Experience in multiple areas will be valued. Candidates
ideally should also have strong programming skills.
