-<p>I am currently working on giving a formal model to <a href="https://www.rust-lang.org/">Rust's</a> type system.
-This work is part of the <a href="https://plv.mpi-sws.org/rustbelt/">RustBelt</a> project. <br/>
-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/>

+<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.
+One key result here is our <a href="https://plv.mpi-sws.org/rustbelt/popl18/">type safety proof</a>, which also describes a methodology for establishing type safety of well-encapsulated unsafe code.
+My goal is to make unsafe Rust just as safe as safe Rust by means of formal verification.<br>
+On the Iris side, besides continuing development of its logical foundations, I am interested in applying Iris to new problem domains; recently I started working on modular verification of fault-tolerant distributed system components.<br>
