The use of shared mutable state, commonly seen in object-oriented systems, is often
problematic due to the potential conflicting interactions between aliases to the same state …

We view channels as the main form of resources in a message-passing programming
paradigm. These channels need to be carefully managed in settings where resources are …

This dissertation proposes a family of techniques for static verication of sequential and
concurrent imperative programs by leveraging fine-grained characterizations of mutation …

Finding simple, yet expressive, verification techniques to reason about both aliasing and
mutable state has been a major challenge for static program verification. One such …

The present dissertation argues that better programming languages can be designed and
implemented, so as to provide greater safety and reliability for computer programs. I sustain …

We define a pi-calculus variant with a costed semantics where channels are treated as
resources that must explicitly be allocated before they are used and can be deallocated …

Efficient and safe memory management is a hard problem. Garbage collection promises
automatic memory management but comes with the cost of increased memory footprint …
