Ramanathan S. Thinniyam
Since May 2019, I have been a postdoc at the Max Planck Institute
for Software Systems, Kaiserslautern. I work 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 (though I do not rule out also working on practical problems). My work has two aspects: applying existing mathematical tools and techniques to new problems, as well as coming up with new mathematical tools.
