Profile
My name is Reza (rezä). I received a Masters of Software Development from University of Tampere (Finland) under the supervision of Dr. Jyrki Nummenmaa (University of Tampere) and Dr. Rustan Leino (Microsoft Research). I am currently doing my Ph.D. at MASE lab at Queen's University under the supervision of prof. Dr. Juergen Dingel. Before I start graduate school I was a senior developer both in Finland and Iran. My research interests lie in the area of Software Engineering in general, and testing, debugging, and verification in particular. In Modelling & Analysis in Software Engineering (MASE) lab at Queen's, we work on Model Driven Engineering (MDE) tools and techniques for constructing complex software. I am currently working on automatic tools for concolic testing state machines. I use open source tools such as PapyrusRT, Klee, and CREST.
