Welcome
This is the homepage of Uli Fahrenberg, mathematician / computer scientist. It is deliberately kept short to be (hopefully) more easily maintainable.
I am professor at EPITA Rennes and at LRDE, and head of the automata research group at LRDE. I am also associated with IRISA Rennes. I have a PhD in mathematics from Aalborg University and have worked at Aalborg University, IRISA Rennes, and École polytechnique.
Habilitation
I have defended my habilitation à diriger des recherches at the University Paris-Saclay on 10 May 2022. My thesis is entitled A Generic Approach to Quantitative Verification and available on arxiv. The jury for the defence was composed of Christel Baier, Dresden; Paul-André Melliès, Paris; Rob van Glabbek, Sydney; Nathalie Bertrand, Rennes; Patricia Bouyer-Decitre, Saclay; and Georg Struth, Sheffield/Lyon.
Research
My research is in the areas of real-time systems, quantitative verification, directed algebraic topology, concurrency theory, and in categorical foundations for theoretical computer science. I keep an up-to-date list of publications.
Recent preprints:
- Energy Büchi Problems, with Sven Dziadek and Philipp Schlehuber-Caissier
- Generating Posets with Interfaces, with Olavi Äikäs, Christian Johansen, and Krzysztof Ziemiański
- A Kleene Theorem for Higher-Dimensional Automata, with Christian Johansen, Georg Struth, and Krzysztof Ziemiański
