Uli

Welcome

This is the homepage of Uli Fahrenberg, mathematician / computer scientist. It is deliberately kept short to be (hopefully) more easily maintainable.

I am Professor at Université Paris-Saclay and at the Formal Methods Laboratory (LMF). I have a PhD in mathematics from Aalborg University and have worked at Aalborg University, IRISA Rennes, LIX, École polytechnique, and EPITA Rennes. Until August 2025 I was Head of the Automata and applications research group at the EPITA Research Lab (LRE).

Research

My research is in the areas of real-time systems, quantitative verification, directed algebraic topology, concurrency theory, and in categorical foundations for theoretical computer science. I keep an up-to-date list of publications.

I am an organizer of the Paris Automata and Concurrency Theory Seminar. See also The (i)Po(m)set Project.

I have defended my habilitation à diriger des recherches at the University Paris-Saclay on 10 May 2022. My thesis is entitled A Generic Approach to Quantitative Verification and available on arxiv. Une traduction française du premier chapitre est disponible sur hal, sous le titre Une approche générique à la vérification quantitative. Merci à Aline Fahrenberg pour la traduction.
