Name:Gilles Barthe

Bio:

I am scientific director at Max Planck Institute for Security and Privacy, Bochum, Germany and a part-time research professor at IMDEA Software Institute, Madrid, Spain. My research interests include programming languages and program verification, software and system security, cryptography, privacy, and mathematical logic. My most recent research develops programming language techniques and verification methods for security, with a focus on relational verification and its applications to cryptography and differential privacy.

Prior to joining Max Planck, I was affiliated with IMDEA Software Institute, Spain (2008-2018); INRIA Sophia-Antipolis Méditerranée, France (1999-2008); University of Minho, Portugal (1998-1999); Chalmers University, Sweden (1997-1998); CWI, Netherlands (1995-1997); University of Nijmegen, Netherlands (1993-1995); University of Manchester, UK (1990-1993). I received a Ph.D. in Mathematics from the University of Manchester, UK, in 1993, and an Habilitation à diriger les recherches in Computer Science from the University of Nice, France, in 2004.
