<p><i>I am offering up to two fully funded PhD positions in my newly founded research group at <a href="https://ethz.ch/en/the-eth-zurich/working-teaching-and-research.html">ETH Zürich</a>, with flexible start date.
I am looking for strong students that want to do research at the foundations of programming language theory, in program verification and separation logic, with a focus on Rust and Iris.
Knowledge of Coq is greatly appreciated. Interested candidates can <a href="contact.html">contact me directly</a>.

+Note that doing a PhD at ETH Zürich generally requires a Master's degree, but there is a <a href="https://inf.ethz.ch/doctorate/direct-doctorate-computer-science.html">direct doctorate program</a> that you can enter with a Bachelor's degree (application deadline December 15th).</i></p>
<p>My two main lines of work are about <a href="https://www.rust-lang.org/">Rust</a> and <a href="https://iris-project.org/">Iris</a>.<br>
On the Rust side, I am working (also in collaboration with the Rust language team) towards a solid formal foundation for the language, including in particular the unsafe parts.
