Vita

Thorsten Ropertz wurde am 31.12.1986 in Waldbröl geboren. Er studierte von 2007 bis 2012 Informatik an der Technischen Universität Kaiserslautern. Studienschwerpunkt waren die Robotik und Eingebettete Systeme. Seine Bachelorarbeit beschäftigt sich mit der Portierung und Ausführung synchroner Programme auf Grafikprozessoren mit Hilfe von NVIDIAs CUDA. Sein Studium beendete er mit seiner Masterarbeit über die grafische Unterstützung der Verifikation von verhaltensbasierten Steuerungssystemen. Sein Forschungsschwerpunkt liegt in der formalen Analyse und Verifikation von verhaltensbasierten Systemen.
