Biography

Ashfaq Farooqui is a researcher within the Dependable transport systems group at the Research Institite of Sweden, Sweden. He obtained the Ph.d in Electrical Engineering and the MSc degree in Systems, Control, and Mechatronics from Chalmers University of Technology, Sweden in 2021 and 2015, respectively. His Bachelor degree in Electronics and Communication Engineering degree was obtained from BMS Institute of Technology, India in 2012. Ashfaq Farooqui was born in Bangalore, India.

My research focuses on model-driven development, supervisory control, and formal analysis. I develop tools and techniques to support verifiably safe control of automated systems.
