Lecturer
Chantal Keller is a Lecturer in the Computer Science Department at IUT d'Orsay, University of Paris-Saclay, and a member of the Formal Methods Laboratory (LMF), a joint unit involving CNRS and ENS Paris-Saclay. Her work bridges theoretical computer science and practical formal verification, with a strong focus on interactive theorem proving and proof assistant technologies. University: University of Paris-Saclay School: IUT d'Orsay Department: Computer Science Department Research Lab: Laboratoire Méthodes Formelles (LMF) Her research centers on enhancing the power and usability of proof assistants like Coq. She has developed tools such as SMTCoq , which integrates SMT solvers into Coq for automated reasoning, and HOLLIGHTCOQ , enabling interoperability between HOL-Light and Coq. Her PhD focused on formal proofs with SMT, and she continues to contribute to foundational aspects of type theory, lambda calculus, and logical frameworks. The 15 most recent articles reflect deep engagement with formal logic, programming language semantics, and automated reasoning. Key trends include proof interoperability, termination analysis, constraint programming, and the formalization of mathematical and computational systems in proof assistants. Her work spans theoretical developments and practical implementations in Coq, Agda, and OCaml. Chantal Keller has served on numerous program committees, including ITP, CPP, POPL, TAP, and JFLA, highlighting her active role in the formal methods community. She has held teaching and research positions since 2007, including roles at École Polytechnique and the University of Nottingham. 2025: Co-PC Chair, ITP 2022: Chair, JFLA 2021: Vice-Chair, JFLA; Co-Chair, PxTP 2017–2022: Coordinator, Digicosme UPSCaLe working group She has advised on workshops and school programs, including the EasyCrypt-F*-CryptoVerif school in 2014. She has not received any explicitly mentioned scientific awards in the provided texts. She is actively involved in teaching programming, algorithms, and mobile development at IUT d'Orsay.
