استادیار

National and Kapodistrian University of AthensGreece

Clément Pit-Claudel is an assistant professor at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) in the School of Computer and Communication Sciences, Department of Computer Science. He leads the SYSTEMF lab which he founded in January 2023. Prior to joining EPFL, he was a PhD candidate at MIT with Adam Chlipala and subsequently worked as a senior applied scientist at Amazon AWS. His academic journey began at École Polytechnique in France, followed by doctoral studies at MIT. Dr. Pit-Claudel's research focuses on programming languages, compilers, and formal verification, with broader interests spanning systems engineering, hardware design languages, security, performance engineering, databases, and type theory. His work centers around three main axes: extensible compilation (teaching compilers domain-specific optimization tricks), hardware design languages and verification, and tooling for proof assistants. He has developed several influential systems including Elk (a linear-time engine for JavaScript regexes), Warblre (a Coq translation of JS regex specification), Fiat (a library for correct-by-construction refinement), Narcissus (for verified binary encoders/decoders), F2F (a program extraction framework), Rupicola (a compiler-construction toolkit), Kôika (a rule-based hardware design language), Cuttlesim (a fast hardware simulator), and Alectryon (a literate programming system for Coq). His publications span top venues including PLDI, POPL, ICFP, ASPLOS, and SLE, with recent work focusing on verified JavaScript regular expressions, foundational integration verification of cryptographic servers, and relational compilation techniques. His research aims to build small, fast, and completely verified components for critical systems through a combination of machine-checked proofs, hardware-software co-design, low-level compiler engineering, and new tools for interactive theorem proving. His notable awards include the Distinguished Artifact award at SLE 2020 for 'Untangling Mechanized Proofs,' the William A. Martin Memorial Thesis Award from MIT in 2016, and the Frederick C. Hennie III Teaching Award from MIT in 2016. He has served on program committees for numerous conferences including PLDI, POPL, ICFP, and SPLASH, and has organized workshops such as the Coq Workshop and Proof Systems. As an educator, he teaches 'Software Construction' (undergraduate level, ~400 students) and 'Interactive Theorem Proving' (graduate level) at EPFL. His teaching philosophy emphasizes hands-on learning, continuous assessment through oral examinations, and designing assignments that lead students to build concrete artifacts they can be proud of. His approach is informed by hundreds of hours of in-class instruction in Europe and the US, resulting in stellar student reviews and multiple teaching awards.
