I am an Associate Research Professor at the Institute of Software, Chinese Academy of Sciences (ISCAS), Beijing, China.
Hiring
We are constantly looking for self-motivated Postdocs, Ph.D./Master Students, and Research Assistants/Interns to join our group at ISCAS. The excellent postdocs can be appointed as the Special Research Associates of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. If you are interested in our work and would like to join us, please do not hesitate to send me an email with or without your CV to start a conversation!
Also refer to my webpage at the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences: https://people.ucas.edu.cn/~anjie.
Research Interests
My research interests lie in formal methods, with a focus on applying formal methods and AI techniques to intelligent Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) that underpin our daily lives to ensure their functionality, robustness, reliability, safety, security, etc.
Formal methods offer a mathematically interpretive and rigorous approach to modeling, analyzing, monitoring, and verifying CPS. However, the high complexity and undecidability can pose significant challenges in solving complicated problems effectively and efficiently. On the other hand, AI techniques, such as machine learning, have demonstrated effectiveness in various practical applications, but often lack interpretability and guarantees. Consequently, finding ways to combine lightweight formal methods and interpretable AI to address CPS-related problems presents an exciting research area, but one that requires balancing the trade-off between exactness and effectiveness.
The current research topics of our group include but are not limited to
-
Formal Methods + Artificial Intelligence: AI for FM, FM for AI
-
Model Learning & System Identification
-
Modeling · Monitoring · Falsification · Verification · Synthesis of Real-time Systems, Embedded Systems, and CPS
-
Program Verification and Synthesis
