معرفی
Sylvie Boldo is a Research Director (Directrice de recherche) at Inria, affiliated with the Toccata project team. She is based at the Inria Saclay-Île-de-France research center and the LMF laboratory (Laboratoire de Méthodes Formelles) at Université Paris-Saclay. Her work focuses on formal proof techniques in Coq, floating-point arithmetic, and program verification. She has held significant roles in program committees for conferences like ARITH, NFM, and CPP, and serves as an associate editor for IEEE Transactions on Emerging Topics in Computing.
Her research interests include formalizing mathematics in Coq, verified numerical algorithms, and analyzing floating-point errors in programs. Notable contributions include the Flocq library for floating-point arithmetic and the Coquelicot library for real analysis. She has advised multiple doctoral students, including David Hamelin, Houda Mouhcine, and Diane Gallois-Wong, and has led or contributed to several funded projects such as Nuscap (ANR) and EMC² (ERC Synergy).
Her publications span formalized mathematics, verified compilation, and numerical analysis. Recent works include a comprehensive survey on floating-point arithmetic (Acta Numerica, 2023) and a mechanized proof of a wave equation solver (Journal of Automated Reasoning, 2022). She has also co-authored a book on formal verification of floating-point algorithms.
Key grants include leadership in projects like MILC (Lebesgue integration formalization) and Verasco (verified compilers). Her work bridges theoretical computer science with practical applications in numerical methods and avionics systems.
