Biography

Anton Wijs is an Associate Professor in the Model-Driven Software Engineering group at Eindhoven University of Technology (TU/e). His research primarily focuses on parallel software development, aiming to utilize parallelism to enhance the software development process. His investigations cover formal verification techniques and the reasoning of functional correctness in systems, with an emphasis on identifying types of formal analyses that can aid in developing parallel software while reducing errors. Anton envisions creating a software development workflow in which developers receive continuous feedback from their development environment, enabling them to quickly identify flaws and improve their projects from initial design to the final product. He has co-authored over 50 scientific papers and has been actively involved in the academic community, serving as a board member of the EAPLS, a steering committee member of ETAPS, and co-chair of the SPIN 2016 workshop. Anton obtained his PhD in Computer Science from VU Amsterdam in 2007 and has held various research positions, including a postdoctoral role at INRIA Rhône-Alpes in France, and later at Eindhoven University of Technology. In 2015, he became an Assistant Professor and was promoted to Associate Professor in 2023.
