Kim Guldstrand Larsen R (born 1957) is a Danish scientist and professor of computer science at Aalborg University, Denmark. His field of research includes modeling, validation and verification, performance analysis, and synthesing of real-time, embedded, and cyber-physical systems utilizing and contributing to concurrency theory and model checking. Within this domain, he has been instrumental in the invention and continuous development of one of the most widely used verification tools, and has received several awards and honors for his work.

Education

Larsen has an MSc in mathematics from Aalborg University, 1982. In 1986, he received his PhD in Computer Science from University of Edinburgh, advised by Robin Milner.

Career

Since 1993, Larsen has been a professor in Computer Science at Aalborg Universitet. He has also been a visiting professor at several places around the world, including the National Institute for Research in Digital Science and Technology (INRIA) (as an international chair 2016-2020).

Larsen heads the Center for Embedded Software Systems (CISS). From 2007 to 2011, he was director of the university-industry consortium Danish Network of Embedded Systems (DaNES), and from 2011 to 2017, he was the Danish co-lead of the Danish-Chinese Center for IDEA4CPS: Foundations for Cyber-Physical Systems, established by the Danish National Research Foundation [da] and the Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC).

In addition, he was director of the Danish ICT Innovation Network (InfinIT) from 2009 to 2020, director of the Center for Data-Intensive Cyber-Physical Systems (DiCyPS) funded by Innovation Fund Denmark [da] from 2015 to 2021, and head of project on the Learning, Analysis, Synthesis, and Optimization of Cyber-Physical Systems (LASSO) project from 2015 to 2020, funded by an ERC Advanced Grant.

Larsen is one of the key figures behind the award-winning tool UPPAAL, which is one of the most widely used tools for the verification of real-time models. "UPPAAL in a Nutshell," written by Larsen and colleagues, is one of the most cited papers in The Journal Software Tools for Technology Transfer, published by Springer (citation rank in the 99th percentile).

He is a member of Royal Danish Academy of Sciences and Letters and elected fellow and digital expert (vismand) in the Danish Academy of Technical Sciences [da]. He has served as the national expert for the Information and Communication Technology theme under the EU's 7th Framework Programme (FP7-ICT), and currently he is a member of the Digital, Industry, and Space referencegroup that serves the Danish Ministry of Higher Education and Science in connection to the EU Horizon Europe program.
