Jakob Piribauer



For the summer term 2023, I am interim professor for "Data Analytics & Statistics" at TU Munich, Campus Heilbronn. Before that I was a post-doc 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.

Teaching

Summer 2023: Discrete probability theory (TU Munich)
Winter 2022/23: Modal Logic (TU Dresden)
Summer 2022: Advanced Logics (joint with Christel Baier) (TU Dresden)
