The central theme of my research
is software reliability. How can we guarantee
correctness, robustness and
acceptable performance of our programs?
My goal is to provide programs that work as intended,
reliably and conveniently, with
zero surprises. Programs that you can run
for multiple decades without any issues such as
crashes, resource leaks or other unexpected behaviour.
I am interested in programming languages, combinatorial
optimization, testing, verification, cryptography and
many other areas of computer science.
