Recipient of the 2022 CAV award (along with Hassen Saidi) for pioneering work on predicate abstraction. This work was presented at CAV'97 in the paper “Construction of abstract state graphs with PVS”, which proposed a method for the automatic construction of an abstract state graph of an arbitrary system using the PVS theorem prover. Predicate Abstraction has had a significant and lasting impact on the field of formal verification.
