Bio:

Ankush Das is a final year PhD student at Carnegie Mellon University. He is advised by Prof. Jan Hoffmann. He is broadly interested in programming languages with a specific focus on resource analysis, session types and language design for smart contracts on the blockchain. He is the lead designer and developer of Nomos, a domain-specific language for implementing smart contracts based on resource-aware session types. In the past, he has worked jointly with Prof. Frank Pfenning and his advisor on designing resource-aware session types for parallel complexity analysis of concurrent programs implemented in a programming language called Rast. Before joining CMU, he worked as a Research Fellow at Microsoft Research, India with Akash Lal where he developed an efficient method to perform precise alias analysis for C and C++ programs for Windows driver modules to automatically infer safe null pointer dereferences. He completed his undergraduate at IIT Bombay, India in 2014 where he worked with Prof. Supratik Chakraborty and Prof. Akshay S on deciding termination of linear loop programs.
