FORMAL SEMANTICS · WEBASSEMBLY · MODEL CHECKING

Hi, I’m Minsung Lee.

Ph.D. Student in Computer Science and Engineering at POSTECH.

My research focuses on formal semantics, software verification, and model checking. I am currently working on WebAssembly, with particular interest in translating declarative language specifications into executable formal models for execution, search, and verification.

More broadly, I am interested in programming-language semantics, rewriting logic, automated reasoning, and formal verification.
