Jakob Piribauer



For the summer term 2024, I will be interim professor for Theoretical Computer Science at the University of Leipzig . Information on the courses I will offer can be found here.

Currently, I am a post-doctoral researcher at the Chair of Algebraic and Logical Foundations of Computer Science at TU Dresden led by Prof. Christel Baier. My main area of research is the formal verifiaction of probabilistic systems. Further research interests of mine include various topics in theoretical computer science and mathematical logic such as automata and game theory, modal logic, and foundations of mathematics.

During the summer term 2023, I was interim professor for "Data Analytics & Statistics" at TU Munich, Campus Heilbronn.

Teaching

Winter 2023/24: Modal Logic (TU Dresden)
Summer 2023: Discrete probability theory (TU Munich)
