Jorge A. Pérez

Associate Professor in Software Foundations (Grondslagen van Software) at the Bernoulli Institute, University of Groningen (NL).

I lead the research group Fundamental Computing.

My research tackles a key societal concern: how to develop error-free computer programs. My current passion is the verification of message-passing programs: the backbone of the software infrastructures we all depend on.

I am also affiliated with:

Previously: Postdoc in Lisbon (with Luís Caires) and PhD Student in Bologna (with Davide Sangiorgi)

RESEARCH INTERESTS

Rigorous programming models for concurrent and message-passing computation.

I am especially interested in:

  • Logical foundations of concurrency: the Curry-Howard correspondence for Concurrency (CHoCo).
  • Verification techniques: type systems (e.g., session types), logics, behavioral equivalences (e.g., bisimulation).
  • The expressive power of core programming languages with concurrency.
