Dr Steven Ramsay

Research summary

I am interested in programming languages, in particular the problem of how to automate logical reasoning about programs.  I have a special focus on the verification of functional programs.  My research is engaged in the following broad themes:

• Lambda calculus and type systems
• Higher-order logic
• Functional programming
• Automata over infinite alphabets
• Software verification
