I'm an incoming Ph.D. student at UIUC,
advised by Prof. Ning Luo.
My research interests lie
primarily in Programming Language Theory (PL), Formal Methods (FM) and their applications in
various domains.
More specifically,
based on my research experience so far, my current interests are summarized below, and I expect
to refine (\cap) or expand (\cup) over time:
-
PL4X
Designing language level abstractions to precisely
capture domain-specific problems. e.g. Imprompt.
-
FM4X
Designing formal methods under domain-specific constraints. e.g.
ZK-Compiler.
-
PL
Mathematical foundations of semantics and their reflections in
language design.
e.g. my B.Sc. thesis.
-
FM
Scalable formal methods through decidability and complexity
analysis.
e.g. Delis.
In my opinion,
there are no sharp boundaries between these directions.
In particular, when designing a language,
clarifying the need for corresponding analysis and verification methods,
as well as how they should be carried out,
is both interesting and almost necessary.
I was a Math & CS (both with honors) undergraduate at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,
where I spent much of my time exploring ways to think about computation through the lenses of
Logic,
Topology,
Algebra,
Analysis
and Number Theory.
I also became interested in Quantum PL.
