Welcome to Reiner Hähnle's Home Page

I am a professor in the Division of Software Engineering and Technology within the Department of Computer Science and Engineering of Chalmers University of Technology.

I lead the research group in Software Engineering using Formal Methods.

I am also Deputy Head of Department and Pro-Prefect for Post-Graduate Studies.

You find me in Room 5449 in the EDIT Building on Chalmers Main Campus in Rännvägen 6B. My office phone number is +46-31-772-1061. My email address is (replace "*" with "@") reiner*chalmers.se.
