Sandro Stucki

Sandro Stucki is a Lecturer in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering at Chalmers University of Technology. He has previously worked as an applied scientist at Amazon and as a postdoctoral researcher at Chalmers University of Technology and the University of Gothenburg. He completed his doctoral studies at the Programming Methods Laboratory (LAMP) at EPFL under the supervision of Professor Martin Odersky.

His research focuses on programming languages, with particular interest in formal methods, type systems and theory, and the semantics and implementation of domain-specific languages. He applies formal methods and type theory to problems in privacy and security, investigates type safety of Scala and related type systems, and develops type soundness proofs using Agda. His work also includes designing domain-specific languages for modeling probabilistic and stochastic systems, especially biochemical systems. He has contributed to the Scala ecosystem by developing a GNU/Emacs mode for Kappa, a modeling language for systems biology.

His recent publications demonstrate strong expertise across programming language theory, formal verification, privacy-preserving systems, and applications in systems biology. His work bridges theoretical foundations with practical applications, particularly in the Scala programming language ecosystem.

Stucki is actively involved in academic service, having served on program committees for numerous conferences including ECAI, GPCE, NWPT, and as a steering committee member for the Scala Symposium series. He has also organized several academic events, including the Scala Symposium 2016.

He currently teaches courses on Data Science and AI, Fundamentals of Program Development, and Neuro-symbolic AI at Chalmers/Gothenburg University, and has previously taught courses on Parallel Functional Programming, Principles of Concurrent Programming, and Types and Programming Languages.
