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 lie in the field of Software Engineering, in particular Formal Methods for Software Development. I currently work on formal analyses of software, including specification inference, test generation, bounded verification and program repair. The main aim of my research is to help build reliable quality software.
