I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at the Rochester Institute of Technology. I work on making software more secure and reliable using techniques based on formal verification, programming languages and type systems.

Short bio: I pursued my Ph.D. studies at the University of Pennsylvania, under the supervision of Benjamin Pierce and co-advised by Cătălin Hrițcu. After my Ph.D., I held postdoctoral appointments at Boston University and atCarnegie Mellon. As an undergraduate student, I majored in computer science and engineering at Unicamp and Polytechnique. I am one of the authors of Software Foundations, an introductory textbook to the Coq proof assistant, and write about Coq in my blog.
