Anders Møller

Anders Møller is a Professor and Vice Head of Department at the Department of Computer Science, Aarhus University, Denmark. He is a leading researcher in programming languages and software engineering, with a primary focus on static and dynamic program analysis. He serves as Chairman of the PhD Committee and holds leadership roles in the international research community, including Vice-Chair of ACM SIGPLAN and Associate Editor for ACM TOPLAS and ACM TOSEM.

His research interests include programming languages, software engineering, static and dynamic analysis, program verification, and security. His work bridges theoretical foundations and practical applications, particularly in improving software reliability and security through advanced analysis techniques.

The trends in his recent publications reflect a strong emphasis on static analysis for security, scalability, and real-world impact—especially in web applications, smart contracts, and open-source software supply chains. His research has evolved toward practical deployment, demonstrated by the founding and acquisition of Coana by Socket in 2025 for enhanced vulnerability detection.

• Recipient of the Danish Elite Research Prize 2020
• ACM Distinguished Member

He actively mentors students and contributes to the academic community through conference leadership (e.g., OOPSLA, PLDI, ICSE). He also co-authored the widely used textbook Static Program Analysis with Michael I. Schwartzbach. His work is deeply integrated into both academic and industrial advancements in software analysis and security.
