News

I am excited to be joining Carnegie Mellon University as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2018! Until then, I will be a Visiting Researcher at Toyota ITC in Mountain View, working on the safety and security of intelligent vehicles.

I am was a postdoctoral scholar working with Prof. Stéphane Lafortune at the University of Michigan, and Prof. Stavros Tripakis at UC Berkeley. My research was supported by the NSF Expeditions in Computer Augmented Programming Engineering (ExCAPE).

I received my PhD in Computer Science from MIT, working with Prof. Daniel Jackson.

Research

My research interests lie in software engineering and programming languages. I am especially interested in leveraging lightweight formal methods to construct software systems that are safe, secure, and reliable to use.

Topics Software reliability, modeling, verification, design methodologies, and cyber-physical systems.

I've also spent summers working with Rajeev Joshi at the NASA JPL, and Ethan Jackson at Microsoft Research on FORMULA.

I was a member of the MIT Programming Languages group.

Before coming to MIT, I studied software engineering at the University of Waterloo, where I spent several terms as a member of WatForm.
