Verified Software

Xiaojia is a PhD student at the Department of Computing at Imperial, under the supervision of Professor Philippa Gardner.

Xiaojia studied for his BA and MMath degree at the University of Cambridge and then moved to Imperial College London in 2020 to join the MSc in Advanced Computing. His Master’s thesis was on a verified model of WebAssembly in Coq called WasmCert-Coq. He plans to expand this work, and also explore the Iris framework in his future research.
