I'm a sixth-year PhD student at MIT, advised by Adam Chlipala. My research applies concepts from programming languages theory to problems in formal verification and mechanized proof, including compilers, automated reasoning, and systems verification. During my PhD, I have developed a mechanized framework for extension-proof compiler verification based on modular specifications for programming languages. My current work leverages this framework to build verified automation for language-agnostic reasoning. I completed my Bachelor's degree in May 2020 at Northeastern University, where I researched gradual typing, parametric polymorphism, and compositional compiler correctness in Amal Ahmed's group. See my CV here.
