Petra van den Bos

I am an assistant professor in the Formal Methods and Tools group of the University of Twente. My current research focusses on software correctness and software quality in general, and on model-based testing specifically. I like working on theory (formal methods), that can be applied in practice as well. Previously, I had a postdoc position in the Formal Methods and Tools group of the University of Twente. Before that, I had a PhD position in the Software Science group of the Radboud University, where I completed my thesis "Coverage and Games in Model-Based Testing".
