Aloha!
As you probably already figured out, my name is Zvonimir Rakamaric.
I grew up and did my undergrad in Croatia.
Currently, I am a Ph.D. student (I completed my M.Sc. degree in August 2006) in the
Department of Computer Science
at the University of British Columbia.
My supervisor is Alan Hu. When I am at
the department, I can usually be found in the
Integrated Systems Design Lab,
which is located in the ICICS/CS room 342.
I will graduate soon and therefore I am looking for a position in a research
lab or academia. My job application materials are available
here.
Research interests
- Effective, automatic techniques for analysis, verification, and testing of complex systems
- Design and verification of concurrent programs
- Verification of heap-manipulating programs
- Theorem provers and decision procedures for analysis of software

Started another internship at Microsoft Research
11/26/2009 11:22 AM
This is my third internship at Microsoft Research, it seems I just can't get enough of that place :).
I'll be working again with Shaz Qadeer and Shuvendu Lahiri in the RiSE team. The main goal of the internship is to find important concurrency bugs in Microsoft's software using my concurrency checker called STORM. Exciting!

Passed my PhD thesis proposal defense
11/15/2009 05:34 PM
Today I passed my PhD thesis proposal defense and finally squared that off! I believe I am now a PhD candidate :). I got very useful feedback from my committee members that is definitely going to make my thesis stronger. So a big thanks for that to Alan, Ken, and Mark. Thanks to Eric as well for chairing the defense.

Visited IST Austria
10/23/2009 02:36 AM
A couple of days ago, I visited the Institute of Science and Technology (IST) Austria in Klosterneuburg near Vienna. IST Austria is a brand new research institution on track to become a world-class research center. I was invited by its president Prof. Tom Henzinger to give a talk about my research on verification of concurrent systems code. I was impressed by smooth organization of my visit, people who work there and their research, as well as institute's surroundings in the Vienna Woods.
Thanks again to everybody at the IST Austria who made my stay a very pleasant one!
