Prof. Philip Koopman is an internationally recognized expert on Autonomous
Vehicle (AV) safety whose work in that area spans over 25 years. He is also
actively involved with AV policy and standards as well as more general embedded
system design and software quality. His pioneering research work includes
software robustness testing and run time monitoring of autonomous systems to
identify how they break and how to fix them. He has extensive experience in
software safety and software quality across numerous transportation,
industrial, and defense application domains including conventional automotive
software and hardware systems. He originated the UL 4600 standard for
autonomous system safety issued in 2020. He is a faculty member of the Carnegie
Mellon University ECE department where he teaches software skills for
mission-critical systems. In 2018 he was awarded the highly selective IEEE-SSIT
Carl Barus Award for outstanding service in the public interest for his work in
promoting automotive computer-based system safety. In 2022 he was named to the
National Safety Council's Mobility Safety Advisory Group. In 2023 he was named
the International System Safety Society's Educator of the Year. He is the
author of the books: Better Embedded System Software (2010), How Safe
is Safe Enough: measuring and predicting autonomous vehicle safety (2022),
and The UL 4600 Guidebook (2022).
