Short CV
Dániel Varró is a full professor at the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and a Research Chair of MTA-BME Lendület Research Group on Cyber-Physical Systems. His main research interest is model-driven software and systems engineering. He regularly serves on the programme committee of various international conferences in the field like MODELS, ASE, FASE and ICMT and serves on the editorial board of the Software and Systems Modeling journal (Springer). He was a programme committee co-chair of FASE 2013, ICMT 2014 and SLE 2016 conferences. He delivered a keynote talk at IEEE CSMR 2012, SOFSEM 2016 conferences and at various international workshops (including VOLT 2013, GT-VMT 2014, CloudMDE 2014). He is a founder of the VIATRA2 model transformation tool and the EMF-IncQuery open source model query framework, and the principal investigator at his university of the SENSORIA, DIANA, SecureChange and MONDO European Projects. He is a three time recipient of the IBM Faculty Award. Previously, he was a visiting researcher at SRI International, at the University of Paderborn and twice at TU Berlin. In 2014, he was as a visiting professor at McGill University and Université de Montréal.
