+<!-- <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>.
+Please explain why you are interested in a PhD in this field and what your prior experience is. Also include a CV and possible contacts for recommendation letters.
+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, me and my group are working (also in collaboration with the Rust language team) towards a solid formal foundation for the language, including in particular the unsafe parts.
+As part of this we are developing <a href="https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/">Miri</a>, a practical tool for detecting Undefined Behavior bugs in unsafe Rust code, which has become a part of the standard toolbox of unsafe code authors.
+Meanwhile, <a href="https://github.com/minirust/minirust">MiniRust</a> is our work-in-progress proposal for a precise specification of unsafe Rust, that I hope to integrate into an official Rust specification eventually.
+My long-term goal is to make unsafe Rust just as safe as safe Rust by means of formal verification based on rigorous foundations for all key components of the language.<br>
+On the Iris side, I am continuing development of its logical foundations.
+We are making Iris fit for specifying and verifying programming languages at scale using a more modular approach.
+The long-term goal is for Iris to be able to handle the full scale of complexities that arise when doing foundational verification of real languages.<br>
