Research

My research is centered around formal program verification, program logics (e.g., Iris), and semantics of programming languages. I am also interested in type theory and category theory, particularly their applications to logic and programming languages. I use proof assistants, especially Rocq, extensively in my work, both as a tool for mechanizing mathematics, including programming languages theory and program verification approaches, and as a subject of study in their own right. See my publications for more details.
