Mark Greenstreet

Mark Greenstreet is a Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of British Columbia. He specializes in formal verification, VLSI design, and analog/mixed-signal (AMS) circuit analysis. His research includes developing tools like PReach (a parallel model checker) and COHO (reachability analysis), with applications in cyber-physical systems and energy-efficient computation. He holds affiliations with the Institute for Computing, Information, and Cognitive Systems (ICICS).

Research Focus: Formal verification of hardware/software systems, model checking, analog circuit verification, energy-time trade-offs in VLSI, and theorem-proving integration with SMT solvers. His work bridges theoretical mathematics and practical circuit design, addressing challenges in reliability, scalability, and performance.

Awards & Recognition: Recipient of Best Paper Awards at ASYNC 2011 and ASYNC 2003 for contributions to synchronizer analysis and self-timed interfaces. His research is supported by NSERC, Intel, and Oracle.

Supervision & Teaching: Supervised over 20 graduate students, focusing on formal methods, parallel computing, and verification. Teaches courses on parallel computation, formal verification, and computer architecture.

Labs & Tools: Developed PReach and COHO as open-source verification tools. Active in research groups exploring analog circuit modeling, reachability analysis, and hybrid systems verification.
