Filipe Casal



I am an Invited Assistant Professor at the Department of Informatics of the Faculty of Sciences, University of Lisbon.

I have obtained a PhD in Information Security at IST, Universidade de Lisboa under the supervision of João Rasga. My thesis concerns the combination of first-order satisfiability solvers, as well as probabilistic logics and their satisfiability procedures.

My main research interests are in the areas of vulnerability research, logic, automated reasoning and type theory. In particular,

  • combination of first-order satisfiability solvers
  • formal methods to prevent and mitigate side-channel attacks
  • probabilistic logics.

Vulnerability Research

PuTTY

I have participated in the EU-FOSSA program performing code review on the PuTTY source code for one month, leading to the discovery of the following vulnerabilities:
