Research Areas

Proving the correctness of safety critical systems using formal methods is one of the exciting areas in Computer Science. The Formal Verification and CAD Research Group, under Dr Dasgupta is one of the most vibrant groups in the world in this area, known for its wide range of contributions in CAD for verification of VLSI circuits, automated control systems, networks, and embedded software. The group has collaborated with many leading industries including Intel, Texas Instruments, IBM, Synopsys, Google, Motors, Indian Railways, National Semiconductors, Hindustan Aeronautics, Qualcomm, and Semiconductor Research Corporation. The Synopsys CAD Labs

Dr Dasgupta works with EE, ECE, and CS students to address some of the emerging research challenges in automotive control, safety critical avionic software, digital and analog integrated circuits, railway signalling and train control systems, and smart electrical grids. He leads the FMSAFE centre for Formal Methods and the Synopsys CAD Labs.

The wide penetration of AI and ML technologies in safety critical systems has recently influenced the focus of this research group, with new vistas on combining domain knowledge with machine learning, and formal / semi-formal approached for verification of ML based safety critical systems.
