Dr. Rayna Dimitrova is tenure-track Faculty at CISPA. Before joining CISPA, she was a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the University of Sheffield, UK and at the University of Leicester, UK before that. Prior to that, Rayna held postdoctoral positions at the University of Texas at Austin, and at the Max Planck Institute for Software Systems in Germany. She received her PhD from Saarland University in Germany in 2014. Rayna’s research is in the area of formal methods, focusing on the specification, verification, and synthesis of reactive systems. She investigates primarily quantitative versions of these questions, centered around the aspect of uncertainty in system and environment models. She is particularly interested in applications of formal methods to autonomous systems, where her work addresses the limitations faced by autonomous control due to imperfect sensing and stochastic disturbances.
