About Me

A picture of Arthur Correnson

I am a PhD candidate at CISPA under the supervision of Bernd Finkbeiner. My research focuses on formal verification using interactive proof assistants (especially Coq, which is my favorite proof assistant). In particular, I am interested in proving the correctness of critical tools such as compilers, static analyzers, automated provers etc. More generally, I am curious about pretty much everything related to programming languages and verification (semantics, logic, category theory, ...).

Feel free to send me an email for any question related to my research! I'm also very happy to discuss any research oriented project, especially if it involves proving stuff!

Exciting news!

  • (2023) I will be at ESEC/FSE in San Fransisco to present my work on the formal verification of automated bug finders
  • (2023) I am advising the bachelor thesis of Iona Kuhn on the Coq formalization of algorithms for omega regular expressions
  • (2022) I was honored to win ICFP Student Research Competition in the graduate category

Teaching

I truly enjoy teaching! I have been involved in the organization of many lectures at Saarland University.
