معرفی
Asta Halkjær From is a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Copenhagen, affiliated with the Software, Data, People & Society (SDPS) section under Dmitriy Traytel. She previously completed her PhD at DTU Compute from 2020 to 2023, focusing on formalized deduction methods in computational logic. She holds a Master’s and Bachelor’s degree from DTU in Computer Science and Software Technology, respectively, with a specialization in Artificial Intelligence and Algorithms.
Her research lies at the intersection of formal logic and computer science, particularly in automated reasoning, proof assistants (Isabelle/HOL and Lean), and mechanized metatheory. She has contributed extensively to synthetic completeness proofs, tableau systems, and verified theorem provers. Her work emphasizes formal verification of logical systems, including epistemic logic, hybrid logic, and first-order logic, with a focus on soundness and completeness.
The recent publications highlight a consistent trend: the mechanization of logical foundations in proof assistants. Her work bridges theoretical logic with practical verification tools, enabling reliable automation in theorem proving. She has developed and verified provers, explored axiomatic systems, and advanced the methodology of synthetic completeness, often leveraging Isabelle/HOL’s framework.

She has supervised BSc and MSc theses, special courses, and research projects at DTU, and currently teaches Software Development for Digital Health. She has served on program committees for CPP, ITP, and Dalí workshops and has reviewed for journals including Journal of Automated Reasoning and Journal of Logic and Computation. She has also participated in international research visits, including at VU Amsterdam.
She is actively involved in building tools for formal reasoning and maintains a personal website with resources, including an Isabelle snippets generator and bibliography tools. Her work continues to advance the foundations of formal logic through mechanized proofs and practical automation.
