Marino Miculan
Professor of Computer Science at the Department of Mathematics, Computer Science and Physics of the University of Udine, with a second affiliation at the Department of Environmental Sciences, Informatics and Statistics of the Ca’ Foscari University of Venice.
This website collects some information about my current and past research, including my publications, the scientific projects and events I am involved in, my teaching activities and my academic services.
My current research focuses on ensuring security and trustworthiness of distributed, component-based, and smart systems. These systems involve intricate interactions of numerous heterogeneous components, making their behavior complex to analyze. To address this challenge, I leverage formal methods (potentially with a pinch of machine learning) to develop novel models, languages, methodologies, and verification techniques to specify, analyze and ensure the security and trustworthiness of these systems. Sounds interesting? drop me a note.
Besides, I know something about type theory, proof assistants, logical frameworks, nominal sets, category theory and categorical logic, process calculi, coalgebras, semantics, session types, bigraphs, distributed ledgers.
I founded and currently lead the Models and Applications of Distributed Systems laboratory, the Udine node of the CINI National CyberSecurity laboratory, and the MadrHacks, the ethical hacking team of the University of Udine.
I have the fortune to work with great people.
