Dr. Vijay Ganesh is an assistant professor at the University of Waterloo, Canada, since September 2012. Prior to that he was a Research Scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (2007-2012), and received his PhD in computer science from Stanford University in 2007. Vijay's primary area of research is the theory and practice of automated reasoning aimed at software engineering, formal methods and security. In this context he has developed many SAT/SMT solvers, most notably, STP, HAMPI, and Z3str2. He has also worked on theoretical results in the context of rich string theories. For his research, he recently won an IBM Research Faculty Award in 2015, two Google Research Faculty Awards in 2013 and 2011, and 7 best paper awards/honors at conferences like SAT, CAV, CADE, and DATE. His solver STP has won numerous awards in highly competitive international SMT solver competitions. Recently he was invited to the first Heidelberg Laureate Forum in 2013, a gathering where young researchers from around the world were selected to meet with leading computer scientists and mathematicians. | Dr. Vijay Ganesh is an assistant professor at the University of Waterloo, Canada, since September 2012.
