M.Sc. Chico Sundermann

The main focus of my research lies on analyzing large configurable systems with propositional logic. Hereby, I am especially interested in #SAT, knowledge compilation, and exploiting both techniques to analyze configurable systems. I always aim to find additional applications for #SAT in an industrial context.  In addition, I explore several ways to improve the scalability of such applications to allow analyzing complex systems.
