Research Interests:
Our team works on a project called BEAM for static analysis of software. It is centered around compiler emulation, data-flow analysis, theorem proving, pointer analysis, inter-procedural analysis. Today the tool is used inside IBM for defect detection.
In the immediate future we would like to push more into parallelization issues, security, specification mining and taking advantage of dynamic analysis.
In the distant future I am also interested in the general issues of software robustness and usability.
