Last week, Independent Research Fund Denmark celebrated the new Sapere Aude Research Leaders at a ceremony in Copenhagen. We are cheering for all of them, but a little bit extra for our own assistant professors Davide Mottin and Chris Rene Schwiegelshohn 🎉 Two young and ambitious researchers you should keep an eye on.

Congratulations to Assistant Professor Andreas Pavlogiannis who attended the official Villum Young Investigator ceremony yesterday 🎉 Computers play a central role in modern society, but failures in software can have devastating and far-reaching effects. For this reason, software verification is vital for responsible software development. Yet, modern systems are extremely difficult to verify at scale. In his Villum project, Pavlogiannis will develop new algorithmic foundations and software tools for verification of modern concurrent software, towards a provably trustworthy digital society.
