My research spans two classical areas of computer science: **algorithms** from I design methods to **formally verify** that programs are correct, especially
theoretical computer science (commonly known as **TCS**) and **formal programs that use **randomization**. Such programs are often easy to show
verification**. My work has mostly centered on [**differential 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 privacy**](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Differential_privacy), a rigorous
definition of privacy that is currently under extensive study. definition of privacy that is currently under extensive study.
