PhD Project in Verified, Distributed Data Stream Processing
Department of Computer Science
Faculty of SCIENCE
University of Copenhagen


The Department of Computer Science invites applicants for a PhD fellowship in Formal Verification. The PhD project is part of the research project DISCOVER (Distributed Streaming Computations, Verified) funded by the Independent Research Fund Denmark (DFF).

Start date is (expected to be) 1 January 2025 or as soon as possible thereafter.

The project
Today’s software and hardware systems produce massive amounts of data. Stream processing frameworks are vital tools for software engineers and data scientists to tame this data. They provide convenient programming abstractions that allow their users to express the desired data analysis. From the expressed analysis, they generate a distributed program and deploy it on computing clusters, which enables the massively parallel processing of data. Apache Flink, Apache Spark, and Google Cloud Dataflow are examples of mature stream processing frameworks that are widely used in industry. For thousands of users these frameworks serve as both the programming language and the operating system. Yet, these systems exhibit unreliable and unpredictable behavior, which prohibits their use in scenarios that cannot tolerate errors such as data loss. The goal of the PhD project is to contribute to an ongoing formalization effort using the Isabelle proof assistant towards the first formally verified system for the analysis of big data.

Who are we looking for?

The ideal candidate for this position is an enthusiastic student with a strong background and interest in one or more of the following areas:

  • formal methods, specifically interactive theorem proving,
  • data stream processing
  • distributed systems

Candidates with a strong theoretical background in related areas are also encouraged to apply.

Our group and research- and what do we offer?
The PhD project will be hosted by the Software, Data, People & Society (SDPS) Section, which performs research in software, process, and data management systems. We focus in particular on methods for the development of trustworthy software systems that closely match the needs of developers, users, and society. More information on the section can be found online: https://di.ku.dk/english/research/sdps/.

The University of Copenhagen was founded in 1479 and is the oldest and largest university in Denmark. It is often ranked as the best university in Scandinavia and consistently as one of the top places in Europe.
