People

Corey is a senior proof engineer within the Trustworthy Systems group and is currently the lead engineer for verifying multi-core seL4. During his time at TS he has been involved in a wide variety of projects to do with seL4. These include developing the original CapDL translation tools, helping complete the information flow proofs, and contributing to the verification of the seL4 MCS extensions. His research interests include formal methods, functional programming, and program verification.

Gernot's main research interests are in operating systems, especially microkernel-based systems, and their use in embedded/cyber-physical systems, OS security and robustness issues, general cyber-security, energy/power management, real-time systems, virtualization and architectural support for operating systems.

Gerwin's research interest is in Formal Methods, more specifically in interactive theorem proving, software verification, semantics of programming languages, and in the emerging field of proof engineering. Generally, he wants software systems to be dependable, and thinks that formal specification and proof can make a significant contribution towards that goal.

Ihor's research interests include operating systems and distributed systems. With regards to operating systems, he focuses on the design of flexible and modular operating systems, as well as security and safety properties of such systems. In distributed systems, he is interested in distributed system middleware, supporting services, and management of distributed resources.

June leads the Trustworthy Systems research group. Her main research interest is in formal verification and certification of software systems, more precisely in formal proof of correctness and security properties of programs using interactive theorem proving, as well as concurrency reasoning, targeting interruptible and multicore systems.

Small operating system kernels and the infrastructure required to support larger systems upon them. His current focus includes secure embedded operating systems suitable for formal verification, and for being the basis of secure systems for embedded devices. He also has interests in componentised operating systems, operating systems in general, security, real-time systems, computer architecture as it pertains to operating systems, and virtualisation.

Michael is interested in the use of mathematics and logic to help in the specification and development of computer hardware and software. He is interested both in working on specific applications projects in this area, and in the development of tools to make all such projects easier to work on.

Rafal is interested in the formal verification of high assurance, system-level software, both from the perspective of verification in practice, but also proof maintenance and increasing the proof coverage of already verified systems.

Yuval's main research interests are computer security and cryptography, with a current focus on microarchitectural attacks and defences.

Ambroise is working on the Cogent project.

Formal methods; semantics; security; program correctness; probability.

Christine is interested in Higher-Order Logic, - Interactive Theorem Proving, and Formal Verification. She works primarily on the Cogent project.

Johannes is interested in beauty and truth. Specifically, he works on interactive theorem proving, program verification and concurrency theory.

Rob strives to create and study comprehensive models and theories of concurrent processes, thereby answering fundamental questions such as: which problems can be solved in a distributed way, using only asynchronous communication, and which cannot. These insights are applied to the modelling, verification and analysis of distributed systems, in particular to popular routing protocols in wireless mesh networks.

Scott works in the time protection team.

Adam is interested in optimising operating system performance.

Amir is researching operating system architecture, and multiserver architectures for OS design. He is currently on a break from his PhD to work as a proof engineer.

Curtis is interested in improving systems level security through advancements in platform architecture, tooling, and education.

Damon is interested in operating systems, hardware, and the relationships between the two.

Jingyao is interested in real-time operating systems and hardwares.

Louis is working on Cogent. Louis worked on verifying the functional correctness of the word array ADT for Cogent. Louis is interested in formal verification especially in the development of tools to aid in formal verification.

Matthew is interested in formal verification of software, using mechanised theorem provers. His current challenge is figuring out how to rapidly, yet sustainably evolve large bodies of existing proofs to meet new requirements.

Michael is learning the techniques to become a proof engineer.

Miki is mainly interested in formal verification techniques and their application to software systems.

Long ago Milad divorced the mysterious TRUTH and sided with proof-objects. He became mindful of practicality as much as the correctness. After his PhD at ANU, he join TS doing proof engineering where he can practice the best of formal method techniques and tools for the sake of both the correctness and practicality.

Currently, his work concerns the CASE project where he is validating a translation of seL4 system initializer from its Isabelle specification into CakeML language..

Mitchell has a formal education in mathematics and a research background in category theory, Hopf algebra and formalised mathematics. He now writes proofs that verify functional correctness of the seL4 micro-kernel.

Operating System internals, Device drivers and Embedded System Architecture.

Sylvain is interested in working on and understanding UNIX systems and operating systems Kernels.

Formal verification.

Vincent is interested in proof theory, type theory, and theorem proving.

Zilin's research is into functional programming, type theory, formal verification, compilers, and Embedded DSLs.

Zoltan, a non-standard analyst by training, works on the correctness proof for the seL4 kernel.

Robert is broadly interested in discovering how best to design and construct software systems with formally proved functional-correctness and security properties at scale. His current research concerns the formal verification of operating systems to enforce increasingly useful forms of information-flow security, also known as confidentiality.

Birgit works part time with the TS group as project manager for strategic and external projects

Peter's research interests include operating system abstractions for, intra alia, storage, scheduling, memory management, and locking. He is also interested in capacity planning, systems performance measurement and optimisation. His main expertise is in Unix and Linux kernels, and low level system support built on these. He also maintains the Trustworthy Systems website and internal infrastructure.
