My research interests include the formal specification and verification of operating systems and hypervisors, information flow security, processor models, concurrency and weakly consistent memory, as well as gate-level hardware design and verification. I was involved in the formal verification of hypervisors for embedded systems (PROSPER) and COTS platforms (HASPOC).
