I am a PhD student at Max Planck Institute for Software Systems (MPI-SWS) and Saarland University under the supervision of Derek Dreyer, head of the Foundations of Programming group.

+

I am assistant professor at ETH Zürich, leading the Programming Language Foundations Lab. +We are part of the Institute for Programming Languages and Systems.
+Previously, I completed my PhD at MPI-SWS and Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany; my advisor was Derek Dreyer. +I also did a post-doc in the PDOS group at MIT CSAIL. +

Previously, I did my Bachelor's thesis in computer science at the Compiler Design chair of the university (also see below).

I am currently working on logics to support modular reasoning about higher-order concurrent imperative programs. The focus is on providing simple building blocks that are powerful enough to recover previous reasoning techniques.

+

My two main lines of work are about Rust and Iris.
+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 type safety proof, 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.
+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.
+For some more information, check out my research blog, my CV, and my research statement.

In my free time, I like to run internet services myself and work on free software. This goes hand-in-hand with my pursuit of defending our privacy rights and our freedom in the digital world.
