Florian Sihler received the Rising Star Award at RSECon25.

Florian Sihler received the Rising Star Award at RSECon25 for his work on flowR, a static program analyzer framework for the R programming language.

flowR employs sophisticated dataflow analysis to provide more accurate and comprehensive results that can then be used to reduce a given program to just the parts necessary to perform a specific task (a so-called "program slice"). Analysis of real-world R code shows that the average reduction is around 85% of lines, reducing the Program to just around 15% of its original size.

Currently, flowR can be best explored by its VSCode extension.
