Research Experience
  • Contributed to the design of CafeOBJ, an algebraic specification language developed at JAIST with strong Japanese government support.
  • Worked on establishing a rigorous logical foundation for proof scores, a method for specifying and interactively verifying software systems.
  • Designed the Constructor-based Inductive Theorem Prover (CITP) supporting inductive reasoning over algebraic specifications within an institutional framework.
  • Introduced transition algebra—a many-sorted first-order logic extended with dynamic logic features such as state transitions, composition, union, and reflexive-transitive closure.
  • Recently extended transition algebra to hybrid systems combining discrete and continuous dynamics, adapting both syntax and semantics.
  • Applied institution-based theory to quantum computing, developing a proof system for a hybrid-dynamic logic of quantum clauses and proving a Birkhoff-style completeness theorem.
