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

I am a tenured Research Professor at the IMDEA Software Institute. I also work part-time as a visiting academic at Amazon Web Services. Before joining IMDEA I was a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Cambridge, where I also got my Ph.D. My research interests are at the intersection of software verification and distributed computing.
