Nazareno Aguirre
Full Professor (UNRC). Independent Researcher (CONICET). Visiting Professor (GTIIT).

I am a Full Professor at the Departamento de Computación, FCEFQyN, Universidad Nacional de Río Cuarto, and an Independent Researcher at Consejo Nacional de Investigaciones Científicas y Técnicas (CONICET). I am also a Visiting Professor at Guangdong Technion - Israel Institute of Technology, Shantou, China.
My main research interests correspond to Software Engineering, in particular Formal Methods for Software Development. I currently work on formal analyses of software based on SAT solving, including specification inference, test generation, bounded verification and program repair. The main aim of my research is to help build reliable quality software.
