Ramanathan S. Thinniyam
I joined Division of Computer Systems , Department of Information Technology , Uppsala University on 1 June 2023 as a Tenure Track Assistant Professor. From May 2019 to April 2023, I was a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute
for Software Systems, Kaiserslautern, where I worked with Georg Zetzsche and Rupak Majumdar .
From October 2018 to March 2019, I was a Visiting Fellow at
Chennai
Mathematical Institute.
I defended my PhD. thesis titled ``Definability and Decidability
in First Order Theories of Graph Order''
on February 12, 2019. I
was
guided by Prof. R.
Ramanujam of the Theoretical Computer
Science department at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences,
Chennai, India.
Research Interests
I have been working on the computational complexity of problems related to verification of safety
and liveness properties of multi-threaded programs with shared
global memory.
I am also interested in
combinatorics on words .
In the long term, I plan to work in practically motivated theoretical questions in the general areas of verification and concurrent programming.
