معرفی
Dr. Théo Winterhalter is a researcher at the Deducteam within INRIA Saclay and the Laboratoire de Méthodes Formelles (LMF) at École Normale Supérieure Paris-Saclay. Previously, he held a postdoctoral position at the Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy (MPI-SP) in Bochum, Germany. He completed his PhD in computer science at the University of Nantes under the supervision of Nicolas Tabareau and Matthieu Sozeau, focusing on the formalization and meta-theory of type theory. His research centers on proof assistants, particularly Coq, and involves advancing formal methods for security, type systems, and dependent type theory.
Winterhalter's work includes contributions to the MetaCoq project, enabling meta-programming and formal reasoning about Coq itself. He is also involved in developing verified cryptographic frameworks like SSProve and SecRef*, ensuring secure integration of verified and unverified code. His educational background includes a PhD in type theory and prior work in cryptographic algorithms, such as randomized scalar multiplication.
He actively participates in academic communities, serving on program committees for ICFP, TYPES, and POPL. His teaching includes co-teaching the MPRI course on proof assistants with Yannick Forster. Supervision activities include PhD student Yann Leray and multiple interns focusing on Coq extensions and formal verification.
