Éric Tanter is a Full Professor in the Computer Science Department (DCC) at the University of Chile, where he also leads the PLEIAD Lab. He holds an Inria International Chair (2025–2029) and is an Associate Researcher at the Millenium Institute for Foundational Research on Data (IMFD). His academic leadership includes prior roles as Director and Deputy Director of the DCC, and Coordinator of the PhD Program in Computer Science.
His research centers on programming languages and software engineering, with a strong focus on gradual typing, type systems, program verification, and secure programming. He explores both theoretical foundations and empirical practices, aiming to bridge the gap between static and dynamic language paradigms. His recent work emphasizes gradual verification, refinement types, and applications in proof assistants and security.
The trends in his recent publications show a deep engagement with foundational aspects of gradual and dependent typing, often aiming to enhance the reliability and security of software systems. These works frequently involve formalization in proof assistants like Coq and explore applications in differential privacy, secure interoperability, and symbolic execution.
