 | | Current research interests of the Program's faculty include: Automated Theorem Proving, Category Theory, Constructive and Feasible Mathematics, Decision Theory, Foundations of Programming Languages, Game Theory, Logics of Programs, Lambda Calculus, Learning Theory, Model Theory, Proof Theory, Set Theory, Set-theoretic Algebra, Temporal and Modal Logics, Theory of Computing, and Type Theory. |
 | | His current goals are (1) to understand and unify the rich variety of type systems, including polymorphic types, intersection types, and the types of linear logic, that have proliferated in recent years and (2) to extend strong typing and proof systems to low-level languages that give the user control over data representation and storage allocation. |
 | | Like such fields as elementary logic and set theory, category theory provides a basic conceptual apparatus and a collection of formal methods useful for addressing certain kinds of commonly occurring formal and informal problems, particularly those involving structural and functional considerations. |
