Prof. Daniel Große serves as Professor at the Institute for Complex Systems (ICS) within Johannes Kepler University Linz, Austria, while maintaining a dual affiliation with the German Research Center for Artificial Intelligence (DFKI) in Bremen. His research centers on Electronic Design Automation (EDA), specializing in verification, debugging, and synthesis of complex hardware/software systems through advanced virtual prototyping techniques. His primary research domains include Formal Verification , Hardware Verification , and Virtual Prototyping , with significant contributions to RISC-V architecture development and embedded systems validation. Current projects like PaSVer (automotive electronics), AUTOASSERT (analog-digital verification), and VerSys (RISC-V software platforms) demonstrate his focus on bridging simulation and formal methods for safety-critical applications. Recent publications reveal accelerating trends in metamorphic testing for embedded graphics libraries and RISC-V vector extensions, alongside innovations in waveform analysis tools like Surfer. His work increasingly integrates AI-assisted verification while maintaining rigorous formal methods foundations. Prof. Große actively supervises student research, having guided Lucas Klemmer's PhD thesis and nine Bachelor theses on topics ranging from RISC-V processor design to transaction visualization. His projects including SATiSFy (autonomous vehicle security) and CONVERS (complex system design automation) secure substantial research funding from academic and industry partners. He leads the Institute for Complex Systems' development of open-source tools such as RISC-V VP++ and contributes to international standards through program committee roles at DATE, ICCAD, and RISC-V Summit Europe.
