2nd Applied Scientist Internship @ AWS

Spent 15 weeks as an applied scientist intern under Aaron Tomb in the Dafny Team (Dafny is really cool, check them out here, exploring and learning about program equivalence across different languages. It was an opportunity for me understand the internal encoding of program structures in an intermediate language, the challenges of comparison of these encoding on different languages, and leanr whole new languages on-the-go to deliver artifacts in this short time. It also helped me visulize hyperproperties in a practical setting.

Our paper on lightweight verification of Hyperproperties got accepted in ATVA-23

Our paper describing the introduction of asynchronicity when specifying probabilistic hyperproperties got accepted in QEST 2023. We have utilised the advantages of smart sampling in statistical model checker PLASMA (https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/6976581) to find a scalable solution for probabilistic HyperLTL. I have worked on this with Stefan Schupp, Axel Legay, Ezio Bartocci, Miroslav Pajic, Yu Yang, and my advisor, Borzoo Bonakdarpour on this project.

Our paper on asynchronous HyperPCTL got accepted in QEST-23

Our paper describing the introduction of asynchronicity when specifying probabilistic hyperproperties got accepted in QEST 2023. We extend HyperPCTL with stutter schedulers which allows us to specify how we want to check for stuttering when verifying the rest of our specification. I have worked on this with Lina Gerlach, Dr. Ábrahám, Dr. Bartocci, and my advisor, Dr. Borzoo on this project.
