Dominik Helm

Postdoctoral Researcher

I'm a postdoctoral researcher at SSE. My current research is on modularization and automatic parallelization of collaborative static analyses in order to improve the precision, soundness, and scalability of static analyses.  In particular, I work on the OPAL static analysis framework for Java VM bytecode in order to improve analyses to find bugs and security vulnerabilities. Analyses I have been working on include purity and immutability analyses as well as modular, feature-consistent call graphs.

I'm currently the lead maintainer of the OPAL static analysis framework.
