Professor Cesare Tinelli

I am a Professor of Computer Science at the University of Iowa. I have a PhD from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. My geneal research interests include automated reasoning, formal methods, and software verification. I have done foundational work in Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) and developed several automated reasoning tools and techniques. My more recent work includes higher-order reasoning and reasoning by induction in SMT, proof-certificate generation in automated reasoning and model checking, logical frameworks for proof systems, integration of automated theorem provers into proof assistants, intermediate languages design for model checking, and model-checking-based security analysis. I am one of the founding faculty members of the Computational Logic Center at Iowa.

I am always looking for motivated and well prepared graduate students and postdocs to join my team. If you are a prospective student, please read this page before contacting me. If you are a prospective postdoc, please contact me directly for more information on possible openings.
