Research
I am interested in understanding the foundations of the behavior of things and solving problems of different sorts, through the lens of computation. Logical things such as concurrent, distributed, and mobile programs; and ecological things such as biodiversity and living systems. Problems in analysis and enforcement of correctness and security of programs, by means of program analysis; urgent existential and social problems such as sustainability of human societies in face of the climate and ecological emergencies. Currently diving into language-based modeling and simulation of populations and ecosystems and exploring the potential of citizen science.
