Thomas Neele
I am an Assistant Professor at the Eindhoven University of Technology(TU/e) in the group Formal System Analysis. I am the Managing Director of the IPA research school. My research interests are the analysis of concurrent behaviour and its associated scalability problems. In the context of model checking, I study symbolic techniques, syntactic transformations for reduction, and partial-order reduction. My other interests are fixpoint logics, parallel programming and automata learning.
Previously, I was a postdoc at Royal Holloway, University of London(RHUL), working on model learning of concurrent automata in the CLeVer project. I carried out my PhD at the TU/e-FSA group; my thesis titled "Reductions for Parity Games and Model Checking" received the IPA dissertation award. I finished both my bachelor and master in Computer Science at the University of Twente. As part of the curriculum, I visited the Trustworthy and Intelligent Systems group at Chinese Academy of Sciences for an internship in the summer of 2015.
