Research Interests
My research focuses on the uses of semantics in computer science, especially the denotational semantics of programming languages, systems, and logics. My advisor is Ross Tate; we are interested in the semantics of effects.
Research Projects
- Authorization Logic
- First-Order Logic for Flow-Limited Authorization
- Semantics of Type-And-Effect Systems
Publications
- Belief Semantics of Authorization Logic (2013)
- First-Order Logic for Flow-Limited Authorization (2019)
- Nexus Authorization Logic (NAL) Logical Results (2012)
- Strict and Lazy Semantics for Effects (2018)
