I am honored to have been awarded (along with Hassen Saidi) the 2022 CAV award for our ``pioneering work on predicate abstraction'' which was presented at CAV'97 in the paper “Construction of abstract state graphs with PVS†which proposed a method for the automatic construction of an abstract state graph of an arbitrary system using the PVS theorem prover (indeed, there was no SMT solver in those days). Predicate Abstraction had an important and lasting impact on the field of formal verification. It is indeed as relevant today as it was 25 years ago.
