What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Programming language
- Compiler
- Operating system
Xavier Leroy mainly investigates Programming language, Compiler, Proof assistant, Compiler correctness and Formal verification.
His studies link Theoretical computer science with Programming language.
He focuses mostly in the field of Proof assistant, narrowing it down to matters related to Abstract machine and, in some cases, Interpreter, Virtual machine and Reduction.
His Compiler correctness research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Compiler construction and Code generation.
His study in Code generation is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Executable, Interprocedural optimization, Inline expansion, Compile time and Assembly language.
His Inline expansion research includes themes of Compilation error, Bootstrapping and Source code.
His most cited work include:
- Formal verification of a realistic compiler (718 citations)
- Formal certification of a compiler back-end or: programming a compiler with a proof assistant (539 citations)
- A Formally Verified Compiler Back-end (298 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
Programming language, Compiler, Theoretical computer science, Formal verification and Proof assistant are his primary areas of study.
His Programming language study frequently draws connections between adjacent fields such as Mathematical proof.
His research integrates issues of Executable and Code generation in his study of Compiler.
Coinduction is closely connected to Soundness in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Theoretical computer science.
The Proof assistant study combines topics in areas such as Semantics and Assembly language.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Dead code elimination and Compiler construction in addition to Compiler correctness.
He most often published in these fields:
- Programming language (78.20%)
- Compiler (37.59%)
- Theoretical computer science (21.80%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2019)?
- Programming language (78.20%)
- Compiler (37.59%)
- Separation logic (4.51%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Xavier Leroy mainly focuses on Programming language, Compiler, Separation logic, Mathematical proof and Semantics.
His research on Programming language often connects related topics like Session.
His work on Compiler correctness as part of general Compiler study is frequently connected to Part iii, therefore bridging the gap between diverse disciplines of science and establishing a new relationship between them.
His Compiler correctness research incorporates elements of Floating point and Compiler construction.
As part of the same scientific family, Xavier Leroy usually focuses on Proof assistant, concentrating on Computation and intersecting with Assembly language, Lustre and Dataflow.
Xavier Leroy works mostly in the field of Operational semantics, limiting it down to topics relating to Formal semantics and, in certain cases, Theoretical computer science, as a part of the same area of interest.
Between 2012 and 2019, his most popular works were:
- Program Logics for Certified Compilers (94 citations)
- A Formally-Verified C Static Analyzer (70 citations)
- A Formally-Verified C Compiler Supporting Floating-Point Arithmetic (32 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Programming language
- Compiler
- Operating system
Xavier Leroy spends much of his time researching Programming language, Compiler, Semantics, Proof assistant and Mathematical proof.
His research related to Computation, Separation logic, Floating point, Optimizing compiler and Formal verification might be considered part of Programming language.
His work in Separation logic covers topics such as Operational semantics which are related to areas like Theoretical computer science.
His Recursion and Abstract interpretation study in the realm of Theoretical computer science interacts with subjects such as Compiled language.
In Optimizing compiler, he works on issues like Executable, which are connected to Software engineering.
His Compiler study combines topics in areas such as Soundness and Documentation.
