Axiomise is a formal verification consulting and services company with a special focus on training. It has been founded to serve the semiconductor industry in the use of formal verification. Axiomise is truly dedicated to enabling formal for all semiconductor design and verification. The company believes that the only way to make formal mainstream for all design verification is to enable and empower the end-user of formal – the hundreds of designers and verification engineers in the semiconductor industry. Axiomise offers cutting-edge formal verification consulting and services dedicated to enabling formal for all design verification. Learn how to apply formal in a predictable way to achieve high-quality sign-off.

The vision of Axiomise is to enable formal to be used by all design and verification engineers for the right reasons at the right time. Axiomise will realize its vision by directly engaging with its customers to enable them to use formal hands-on with ease and confidence to tape out high-quality verification in a predictable manner. The delicate balance between predictability and quality is often hard to achieve and can be tricky to get it right with formal. Axiomise wants to empower its customers to obtain just that. Axiomise makes this possible through a combination of offerings – from training engineers and managers to providing consulting required for  hands-on formal verification planning and execution.

As founder & CEO of Axiomise, Dr. Ashish Darbari has led the company to successfully deploy the unique combination of training, consulting, services, and verification IP to a range of customers. Ashish has expertise in all aspects of formal methods including theorem proving, property checking, and equivalence checking. Although he has a Doctorate in formal verification from the University of Oxford, to learn formal verification from him, you don’t need a Ph.D.!  Some of his former students work at Apple®, Arm®, Blu Wireless®, CERN®, DW Holdings®, Diffblue®, Displaylink®, Meta®,  Imagination Technologies®, Infineon®, Intel®, Nokia®, Raytheon®, Rockwell Automation®, Rockley Photonics®, Synopsys®, OneSpin Solutions®, and Xilinx®, to name a few.

Ashish has been actively using formal methods for over two decades.  He is one of the foremost authorities in practical applied formal verification having trained nearly 200 designers, and verification engineers across the world. A keen innovator in formal verification, Ashish has 46 patents in formal verification. He is also the author of the formalISA® app.
