Projects

Current Projects

  •    Using automated algorithm configurators such as SMAC to synthesize competitive SMT strategies.
  •    Investigating CAS-SAT combinations. Designed a tool (MathCheck) that was used to verify two conjectures over hypercubes beyond previously known bounds.

Past Projects

  • ClaferSMT -- a full translation of the Clafer modeling language to SMT. Improved performance primarily for numeric operations.
  • Optimizing Alloy for Multi-objective Optimization of SPLs -- Applied formula rewrite techniques within the Kodkod solver, reducing the number of integer atoms to solve SPL optimization problems.
  •    Exact Parallel Multi-Objective Combinatorial Optimization -- Defined and implemented several algorithms for exact MCOP solving, using off-the-shelf SMT solvers.
