Silvano Dal Zilio is a research scientist with over two decades of experience in formal methods, concurrent and distributed systems, and programming language type systems, currently based in the Greater Toulouse area and researching at CNRS. He has coordinated and participated in numerous European and French-funded projects, supervised PhD and Master students, and serves as an expert adviser to the French ministry of the Economy on R&D tax credit evaluation. His work spans verification of concurrent and real-time systems, mobile and higher-order process calculi, and tools for programming with semi-structured data, with recent focus on resource-aware program analysis and strongly typed languages for semi-structured data. A former researcher at Microsoft Research Cambridge and INRIA, he pairs deep theoretical expertise with practical project experience—including implementing a virtual machine for mobile objects during his PhD. He also teaches graduate courses on XML and Web Services security and evaluates national and regional research initiatives, reflecting a blend of academic leadership and policy-level impact. Colleagues know him for bridging rigorous formal models with applied tool-building in distributed computation.
