International Visits and Visitors

There are a large number of incoming and outgoing visits to/from the environment of duration less than two weeks, including those resulting in co-authored publications. In addition to a large number of shorter incoming and outgoing international visits, the following are visits longer than two weeks in 2024.

Long-term International Scientific Collaborations

  • Prof. Edward Lee at UC Berkely, a world-leading Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) researcher. This collaboration started with a Fulbright scholarship in 2015 that made it possible for Marjan Sirjani to visit UC Berkeley, which developed into a visiting professorship at MDU for Prof. Lee a few years ago and continued in 2024 by mutual visits and Prof. Lee joining the TSS Scientific Advisory Board. Overall, this long-term collaboration has resulted in several important contributions related to modelling and verification of CPS, manifested in 8 joint publications.
