This list is not exhaustive and we encourage potential candidates to contact us
and discuss possible alternative subjects.
How to apply: contact directly the person in charge for each subject. In the
French system, PhD candidates start their work with a 6-month internship (part
of the Master) before signing up for a 3-year PhD contract. The internship is
not required for students coming from non-French universities (including the
European Union) that may start working directly on their PhD.
Hosting institution: VERIMAG is an academic laboratory focusing on theoretical
and practical aspects of formal methods for embedded system development. Since
its creation, in 1993, VERIMAG has a proven record in both basic theoretical
research and in development of tools for system verification. In the recent
years, VERIMAG became deeply involved in the area of rigorous construction of
embedded cyber-physical systems. VERIMAG hosts 20 professors, 7 full-time
researchers and over 15 PhD students.
