Dr Ornela Dardha

  • Lecturer (School of Computing Science)

Biography

I am a Lecturer (Assistant Professor) at the School of Computing Science, University of Glasgow. Within the School, I am a member of the Formal Analysis, Theory and Algorithms research section, and Programming Language Foundations and Formal Methods research themes. I am a member of the Athena SWAN self-assessment team.

My research goal is to achieve safety, adaptability and resilience in real-world software systems, by design, by leveraging rigorous formal methods and verification techniques

I am a Co-Investigator within the UK EPSRC programme grant From Data Types to Session Types: A Basis for Concurrency and Distribution (ABCD), and a Site Leader of the European RISE Action Behavioural Application Program Interfaces (BehAPI).

I was a Postdoctoral Researcher (Jan 2014 - Apr 2018) within the ABCD project, at the University of Glasgow. Previously, I obtained my PhD in computing science from the University of Bologna, Italy, under the supervision of Davide Sangiorgi. My PhD thesis Type Systems for Distributed Programs: Components and Sessions won the prize for the Best Italian PhD Thesis in Theoretical Computer Science 2015, awarded by the Italian Chapter of EATCS. I obtained my BSc (2008) and MSc (2010) in computing science both summa cum laude (110/110 e lode), from Sapienza University of Rome, Italy.

You can find more information about me on my personal website.


Research interests

  • Programming languages, semantics, concurrency.
  • Formal methods and verification techniques: type systems, logic, encodings.
  • Design and implementation of software tools for communication-safe systems programming.
