Alexey Gotsman Assistant Research Professor IMDEA Software Institute Campus Montegancedo s/n 28223-Pozuelo de Alarcón, Madrid, Spain Tel.: +34-91-101-2202 ext 4136 Fax: +34-91-101-1358 @ Email: Alexey.Gotsman imdea.org

I am a tenure-track Assistant Research Professor at the IMDEA Software Institute. Before joining IMDEA, I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Cambridge, where I also got my Ph.D. My research interests are in software verfication, particularly, in developing reasoning techniques and automated verification tools for real-world concurrent systems software.
