About

I like logic and interactive theorem proving because I like to really understand something from the basics. It also feels good to be certain of things, even after you have forgotten the details of how you came to that conclusion.

This lead me to my current research area and the topic formal reasoning about GOLOG programs. It combines formal logic, programming language semantics, formal verification, and AI planning.

Research Experience

PhD research in Computer Science

October 2023 - ongoing

Researching formal reasoning about GOLOG programs under the supervision of Dr Mohammad Abdulaziz . GOLOG is a high-level agent modelling language meant to capture human intuition and common-sense reasoning in dynamic situations. The research aims to formalise GOLOG's semantics using techniques applied to programming languages as well as the situation calculus within the Isabelle/HOL theorem prover. It combines various applications of logic, from philosophy to AI.
