Research
My research is in the general area of formal methods in software engineering.
My current work addresses the development and validation of concurrent
algorithms for solving semidefinite programs. Semidefinite programs
are a class of convex optimization problems that have broad
application in control theory, numerical analysis, economics,
computational biology, and other areas of science and engineering.
Concurrent programming is notoriously difficult and error-prone;
however, multicore processors with shared or distributed memory
comprise the next computing paradigm so it is imperative that
scientists, programmers and others learn to develop and validate
parallel programs. The tools and techniques developed in my work
will improve the implementation and validation of parallel
semidefinite programs, using layered concurrency abstractions that
relieve the programmer from having to be concerned with a myriad of
internal implementation and testing details.
