## Research Interests ##
|
||||
My research spans two classical areas of computer science: **algorithms** from
|
||||
theoretical computer science (commonly known as **TCS**) and **formal
|
||||
verification**. My work has mostly centered on [**differential
|
||||
I design methods to **formally verify** that programs are correct, especially
|
||||
programs that use **randomization**. Such programs are often easy to show
|
||||
correct on paper, but surprisingly challenging for computers to prove correct.
|
||||
Accordingly, my research blends ideas from two classical areas of computer
|
||||
science: **randomized algorithms** from theoretical computer science (**TCS**)
|
||||
and **formal verification**.
|
||||
|
||||
Drawing inspiration from how humans reason about randomized algorithms, we can
|
||||
build simpler and more automated verification techniques. In the past, I've
|
||||
applied this approach to properties like **accuracy**, **incentive
|
||||
compatibility**, Markov chain **mixing**, and various notions of **algorithmic
|
||||
stability**.
|
||||
|
||||
A particular focus of my work has been [**differential
|
||||
privacy**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_privacy), a rigorous
|
||||
definition of privacy that is currently under extensive study.
|
||||
|
||||
From the verification side, I investigate formal methods---such as [**type
|
||||
I have investigated a variety of formal methods---such as [**type
|
||||
systems**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Type_system) and [**program
|
||||
logics**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hoare_logic)---to verify that programs
|
||||
are differentially private. More generally, I consider formal verification for
|
||||
properties of randomized algorithms, including **incentive compatibility**,
|
||||
Markov chain **mixing**, and various notions of **algorithmic stability**. From
|
||||
the algorithms side, I apply differential privacy to optimization, machine
|
||||
learning, and mechanism design.

are differentially private.
|

|

From a more traditional algorithms perspective, I am also interested in applying
|
||||
differential privacy to optimization, machine learning, and mechanism design.
