Areas of interest: Compilers, CAD, Verification, Synthesis

My goal is to help students become great computer scientists. On the research front, I work towards this goal with my students in PLSE research group. On the education front, I work towards this goal by teaching courses on programming languages and related topics.

My expertise is rooted in formal verification, especially of compilers. As my students develop their own research vision, we branch out across diverse domains. Our work remains unified by themes of making it easier to write tricky code and figuring out how to ensure such programs are correct. We rigorously prove our results while building and measuring real systems. Some of the domains we have explored include:

  • Compiler Optimization Synthesis
  • CAD Tools for 3D Printing and Carpentry
  • Automatic Numerical Accuracy Improvement
  • Machine Learning Compilers and Runtimes
  • Web Browser Layout Verification
  • Radiotherapy Control Verification
  • Distributed Systems Verification
  • Internet Router Verification

I can juggle and solve Rubik's cubes, but not at the same time.
