معرفی
Giles Reger is a Lecturer in the Formal Methods Group within the School of Computer Science at the University of Manchester. His primary roles include research and teaching in theorem proving, runtime verification, and formal methods. He has been actively involved in projects such as the Centre for Digital Trust and Society and the SCorCH project focusing on secure code verification.
Educational background: Giles holds a BA in Computer Science from the University of Cambridge (2009), an MSc in Advanced Computer Science from the University of Manchester (2010) with the Highest Achiever of the Year Award, and a PhD from the University of Manchester (2014) titled Automata based monitoring and mining of execution traces.
Research interests focus on two core areas: theorem proving (quantifier reasoning, first-order theories, collaborative proof search, and integration of SAT/SMT solvers) and runtime verification (temporal specifications, monitoring algorithms, violation explanation, and benchmarking). His work emphasizes practical applications in tool development and real-software analysis.
Notable awards include the ACM SIGSOFT Distinguished Paper Award (2024) for his paper on LLM-generated invariants. His research contributions span over 50 publications, with active involvement in funded projects like SCorCH (Secure Code for Capability Hardware) and the Centre for Digital Trust and Society.
Advising and grants: Reger welcomes PhD/MSc students in theorem proving, program verification, and related fields. He has supervised multiple research students and leads collaborative projects involving international researchers. His lab, the Formal Methods Group, develops tools like the Vampire theorem prover and contributes to runtime verification frameworks.
