Programming, Logic, and Semantics Group

Academic staff

Anuj Dawar
Professor of Logic and Algorithms. Interested in finite model theory and its connection to the study of computational complexity; the theory of databases; the complexity of games; and the expressive power of logical formalisms
Marcelo Fiore
Professor of Mathematical Foundations of Computer Science. Interested in mathematical models of computation; semantics of programming languages and concurrent systems; metalanguages, type systems, and program logics; and applications of category theory to computer science
Tim Griffin
Reader in Computer Science. Interested in developing algebraic structures to model and design Internet routing protocols
Mateja Jamnik
Reader in Artificial Intelligence. Interested in computational modelling of human mathematical reasoning - in particular "informal" human techniques such as the use of diagrams, analogy, symmetry, etc. - by employing techniques from artificial intelligence, automated reasoning, diagrammatic reasoning, theorem proving, proof planning, cognitive science, machine learning, human-computer interaction, knowledge representation. Also a member of the CL AI group.
Neel Krishnaswami
University Lecturer. Interested in the applications of proof theory, type theory, and denotational semantics to programming language design and program verification.
Jamie Vicary
Royal Society University Research Fellow and Senior Lecturer. Interested in higher category theory and its applications across computer science and mathematics, with a particular focus on proof assistants and quantum structures.
Jeremy Yallop
University Senior Lecturer, interested in functional programming languages and metaprogramming.
Alan Mycroft
Professor of Computing. Interested in programming languages, type systems, program analysis and compilation, especially techniques bridging the theory-systems divide.
Larry Paulson
Professor of Computational Logic. Interested in automated theorem proving and verification, cryptographic protocols, and the mechanisation of mathematics.
Andrew Pitts
Professor of Theoretical Computer Science. Interested in the applications of logic, type theory and category theory to the foundations of programming languages and their semantics and to computer-aided proof.
Martin Richards
University Senior Lecturer (retired). Interested in typeless languages; compact byte stream interpretive codes; machine independent operating systems for process control and real time applications; and real time analysis of digital musical sound for use in an automatic accompanist system.
Thomas Sauerwald
University Lecturer. Interested in the design and analysis of algorithms, especially randomized algorithms, Markov chains, streaming algorithms and distributed computing.
Peter Sewell
Professor of Computer Science and EPSRC Leadership Fellow. Interested in programming language semantics, network protocols, semantic mechanisation, security, and concurrency, especially relaxed-memory concurrency.
Glynn Winskel
Professor of Computer Science. Interested in theoretical Computer Science and related mathematics, especially applications of logic and category theory to computer science, over a variety of areas from the foundations of semantics to systems biology.
