+
summer 2017 | Research Assistant
+
Worked on an implementation +of Lampsort +in Eiffel. Extended +the mathmodels +library, implementing a rational class for working with +arbitrarily large rational numbers.
+
+
+
+
+
summer 2016 | Research Student
+
Worked on Literate Unit-B, the verifier for Unit-B, a new +formal method focused on formal verification of reactive, concurrent, +and distributed systems. From the Literate Unit-B codebase (written +in Haskell), decoupled the logic module and used it to build +Unit-B Web, a web interface using Literate Unit-B to do +predicate calculus proofs. Unit-B Web, also written in Haskell, +supports the LaTeX +syntax of the Unit-B logic, renders user input on the page, and calls +the sequent prover of the logic module, which uses the Z3 SMT solver +to check the validity of user input.
+
Separated Literate Unit-B's type checker from its parser in a +large refactoring, allowing easier substitution of other type checking +algorithms, and in preparation for implementing subtyping.
