Bio of Martin Avanzini

I am a researcher at INRIA Sophia Antipolis Méditerranée within the FoCUS research team. I graduated from the University of Innsbruck, where I was a member of the Computational Logic and Computation with Bounded Resources groups. My thesis was concerned with the automated complexity analysis of rewrite sytems and supervised by Georg Moser. I spend two years at the University of Bologna, working with Ugo Dal Lago on the complexity analysis of higher-order rewrite systems.

I am an enthusiastic functional programmer, have a look at my software page.
