Simon Oddershede Gregersen
I am a postdoctoral fellow in the Computer Science Department at the Courant Institute of New York University, working with Joseph Tassarotti. I obtained my PhD from Aarhus University in 2023 where I was advised by Amin Timany and Lars Birkedal.
I study programming languages and program verification. My research focuses on techniques to develop formally verified software systems that come with machine-checked mathematical proofs. I am particularly interested in security properties, distributed systems, and randomized programs.
My work is currently supported by an Internationalization Fellowship from the Carlsberg Foundation (CF23-0791).
