Biography
Stavros Tripakis is an associate professor in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University, based in Boston.
Tripakis is interested in the foundations of software and system design. His research focuses on formal methods; computer-aided verification and synthesis; safety-critical, embedded, and cyber-physical systems; and security. He is a faculty advisor for the Formal Methods Group, which develops theories and tools to design better systems.
Tripakis has held positions at the University of California, Berkeley; the French National Research Center; Cadence Design Systems; and Aalto University. He co-chaired the 10th ACM & IEEE Conference on Embedded Software and served on the board of ACM SIGBED — first as secretary and treasurer, then as vice-chair. His h-index, a metric that measures the productivity and citation impact of a scholar’s publications, is 50.
