Portrait of Joe Hattori

Software engineer · Formal verification

Joe Hattori

I am a software engineer at Google with research interests in formal verification for systems software.

I am interested in using proof assistants to build machine-checked arguments about real systems, and in combining interactive theorem proving with automated techniques for production-scale, low-level code.

Research

My primary interests are theorem proving and formal verification, especially their application to systems software. I am particularly interested in interactive theorem proving for reasoning about concurrency, ownership, and low-level interfaces.

My previous work uses automated program analysis to find resource-management bugs in Linux kernel drivers. More broadly, I am interested in proof assistants, program logics, operating systems, programming languages, and making machine-checked verification useful for code that runs in the real world.
