Filip Mazowiecki is joining us from the University of Bordeaux, where he spent the last two years as a postdoc. His research area is formal verification, the study of verifying correct functioning of systems. He is mostly interested in the theoretical analysis of models like Petri nets and weighted automata, working on fundamental questions like reachability and equivalence.

Filip obtained his PhD at the University of Warsaw on the topic of database theory. After he obtained his PhD he switched to the area of formal verification, spending almost four years as a postdoc at the Universities of Warwick, Oxford and Bordeaux.
