Research (See publications and software)
Research areas: Programming languages, Software engineering, Artificial intelligence
My research is directed at three themes: 1) design and analysis of software systems (with special interest in concurrency, security, mobile and cloud applications), 2) machine learning for program analysis and automated software engineering, and 3) algorithms and systems for artificial intelligence.
