Christel Baier (born 26 September 1965) [1] is a German theoretical computer scientist known for her work in model checking, temporal logic, and automata theory. She is a professor at TU Dresden, where she holds the chair for Algebraic and Logic Foundations of Computer Science in the Faculty of Computer Science. [2] Baier is the editor-in-chief of Acta Informatica . [3]
Baier earned a diploma in mathematics at the University of Mannheim in 1990, and stayed at the same university for graduate study in computer science, completing her Ph.D. there in 1994. [2] Her dissertation, Transitionssystem- und Baum-Semantiken für CCS, was supervised by Mila Majster-Cederbaum. [4] She earned a habilitation at Mannheim in 1999. [2]
She became an associate professor for computer science at the University of Bonn in 1999, and moved to TU Dresden as a professor in 2006. [2]
With Joost-Pieter Katoen, Baier is coauthor of the book Principles of Model Checking (MIT Press, 2008). [5]
Baier was elected to the Academia Europaea in 2011. [6]
