7 <p>I am a post-doctoral researcher at <a href="https://www.mpi-sws.org/" target="_blank">Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS)</a> under the supervision of <a href="https://www.mpi-sws.org/~dreyer/" target="_blank">Derek Dreyer</a>, head of the <a href="https://plv.mpi-sws.org/" target="_blank">Foundations of Programming group</a>.</p>
9 <p>Previously, I completey my <a href="thesis.html">PhD thesis</a> at MPI-SWS and <a href="https://www.uni-saarland.de/" target="_blank">Saarland University</a>.</p>
11 <p>I am currently working on giving a formal model to <a href="https://www.rust-lang.org/">Rust's</a> type system.
12 This work is part of the <a href="https://plv.mpi-sws.org/rustbelt/">RustBelt</a> project. <br/>
13 The Rust work builds on my previous work on <a href="https://iris-project.org/">Iris</a>, a logic to support modular reasoning about higher-order concurrent imperative programs. The focus there was on providing simple building blocks that are powerful enough to recover more sophisticated reasoning techniques that were often axiomatized in previous logics. <br/>
