  • Jeffrey Maddalon

    Jeff is a research engineer at NASA's Langley Research Center. His research involves the discovery and verification of both safety and correctness properties for complex computerized aviation systems with special emphasis on air traffic management systems and unmanned air vehicles. Jeff is also interested in how these artifacts can fit within the larger certification environment. In the past he has worked on fault-tolerant computer systems (SPIDER). He received a bachelor's of science degree in computer engineering from Virginia Tech* and a master's of science degree in computer science from the College of William and Mary*.
