Jérôme Leroux

Jérôme Leroux is a Directeur de Recherche (DR CNRS) at the Laboratoire Bordelais de Recherche en Informatique (LaBRI), affiliated with the University of Bordeaux, France. His research focuses on formal verification of infinite-state systems, vector addition systems, Presburger arithmetic, and acceleration techniques for symbolic computation.

• Key research themes include:
  • Vector Addition Systems (VASS) and Petri Nets
  • Automata-based representations for Presburger arithmetic
  • Abstract interpretation and CEGAR frameworks
  • Verification of asynchronous distributed systems

His recent publications highlight work on acceleration techniques for convex binary relations, serialized digit automata, and regular acceleration methods for number decision diagrams. These contributions are implemented in tools like the Talence Presburger Arithmetic Suite (TAPAS) and the FAST tool for symbolic verification.

Scientific awards include a Best Paper Award at TURING'100. He has advised several Ph.D. students and postdoctoral researchers, including Alexander Heußner and Thibault Hilaire (current Ph.D. candidate). Leroux is actively involved in organizing conferences like MFCS'23 and serving on program committees for venues such as VMCAI'26.
