Engel Lefaucheux

ISFP Researcher In Inria Nancy, Loria within the VeriDis team.

Until 2021 I was a Post-doctoral researcher at the Max-Planck Institute for Software Systems in Sarrebrucken, under the supervision of Joël Ouaknine.

From 2015 to 2018 I was a PhD student under the co-supervision of Nathalie Bertrand at IRISA Rennes (Team SUMO) and of Serge Haddad at ENS Cachan (LSV, team MExICo). My PHD focused on controlling information in probabilistic systems.

Here is a deprecated CV (in french).

Research

My main research interests include:
  • Decision, control, and synthesis problems for continuous and discrete linear dynamical systems (using tools from number theory, Diophantine geometry, algebraic geometry)
  • Automated verification of real-time, probabilistic, and infinite-state systems (e.g. model-checking algorithms, synthesis problems, complexity)
  • Logic and applications to verification
  • Modelisation of systems (in particular through probabilistic programming)

Internships

I am always interested in supervising internships (or PhD students though funding is harder to obtain). Here are some projects I am interested in supervising for instance.
