Paul Anderson
VP of Engineering
Paul is the leader of GrammaTech's product engineering team.
Paul has worked for GrammaTech for 24 years. He started as a software engineer working on language-sensitive editor technology, before leading the conception and development of both CodeSurfer and CodeSonar. During that time, Paul conducted research into a variety of software engineering tools and techniques, including program understanding and software visualization.
Prior to joining GrammaTech, Paul was a lecturer at City University in London, England. He retains connections to the academic world as a member of the program committees for several software engineering research conferences.
Paul has a PhD in computer science from City University, and a BSc from King's College, University of London. He lives in Ithaca with his wife and two children.
David Melski
VP of Research
Dr. Melski has been a part of GrammaTech’s Research team since June, 2002 and has led GrammaTech Research since 2004.
Dr. Melski graduated summa cum laude from the University of Wisconsin with a B.S. in Computer Sciences and Russian Studies. He also received his Ph.D. in Computer Sciences from the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Melski's work in static analysis and interprocedural path-profiling techniques has been featured in numerous articles and conferences.
Prior to joining GrammaTech, Dr. Melski worked as a research assistant at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. While at GrammaTech, he has overseen a greater-than-seven-fold increase in sponsored projects funded by DOD, IARPA, DHS, NSF, NASA, and NIST. He has worked on static and dynamic vulnerability detection, symbolic and concolic execution, survivability under attack, program hardening by means of confinement and diversification, binary rewriting, and semantics-preserving transformations. Dr. Melski has held the role of principal investigator on many of GrammaTech’s projects, and he is a co-author of Analysis Techniques for Information Security, published by Morgan & Claypool Publishers.
He currently resides in Ithaca.
Mark Zarins
VP of Sales
Mark Zarins has over 10 years of management experience in software sales and marketing. He was part of the team that defined, created, and launched CodeSonar. Before joining GrammaTech, he worked in professional services at Wind River Systems.
Mark has a B.A. in Physics from Pomona College, and an MBA and M.Eng. in Computer Science from Cornell University. He lives in Davis, California.
David Cok
VP of Technology
Dr. Cok's research in software analysis focuses on software verification, with an emphasis on practical application to industrial software development.
Cok has been at the company for 6 years. Prior to joining GrammaTech, Dr. Cok spent 27 years in research at Eastman Kodak Company, as a senior technical contributor, lab and division leader, and leader of product development groups.
Dr. Cok earned an A.M. and Ph.D. in Physics from Harvard University, and graduated with honors from Calvin College with A.B. degrees in Physics and Mathematics.
Alexey Loginov
Associate VP of Binary Analysis Technologies
Alexey leads GrammaTech's research on binary analysis technologies, and has been instrumental in the addition of Binary Analysis capabilities within CodeSonar.
Dr. Loginov graduated with Highest Honors from the University of Texas with a B.A. in Mathematics and B.Sc. in Computer Sciences. He received his M.Sc. and Ph.D. in Computer Sciences from the University of Wisconsin. Dr. Loginov’s thesis exposed a new connection between Machine Learning and program analysis; his work has been presented in a number of journal and conference publications.
Before joining GrammaTech, Dr. Loginov worked at Hewlett-Packard and the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center. He currently lives in Ithaca.
Michael McDougall
Associate VP of Autonomic Technologies
Michael leads GrammaTech's research on advanced technologies that enable systems to monitor their health and automatically protect themselves when under cyber-attack.
Michael joined GrammaTech in February 2005, after completing a PhD in Computer and Information Science at the University of Pennsylvania. Since joining GrammaTech, he has led multiple research projects on helping engineers develop safe and secure software. His work includes a static analysis tool for safety-critical systems, a visualization tool for complex software, and a suite of tools for ensuring system resilience in the face of attacks. He has also contributed to the development of CodeSonar.
In his graduate work, Michael focused on the application of formal methods to software engineering and security. For his thesis, he developed a system for resolving security policy conflicts in payment cards.
Before beginning his PhD, Michael was a software engineer at Corporate Software and Technologies, which has since been acquired by Oracle. He received a joint BS in Mathematics and Computer Science from McGill University.
