Event Description
Title: Formal Verification Methods for Cyber-Physical Systems and Neural Networks
Time: Friday 4/1, 2:40 PM
Location: NCS 120
Abstract: Formal verification methods in Computer Science strive to prove properties about all possible executions of a system, and are an alternative development approach to testing when correctness is paramount. Traditionally these have been applied to hardware circuits, state-machine protocols, or software source code. Prof. Stanley Bak will discuss his research on extending formal verification approaches to more complex areas including cyber-physical systems and neural networks.
Speaker Bio: Stanley Bak is an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at Stony Brook University investigating the verification of autonomy, cyber-physical systems, and neural networks. He received a PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign (UIUC) in 2013, and worked for four years in the Verification and Validation (V&V) group in the Aerospace Systems Directorate at the Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL). He received the AFOSR Young Investigator Research Program (YIP) award in 2020.
