Jeffery Wang

CS PhD Student @ Princeton University

About

I am a Computer Science PhD student at Princeton University, advised by Prof. Zak Kincaid and Prof. Wyatt Lloyd. My research interests are broadly in Formal Methods and Programming Languages with a focus on designing automated reasoning tools for systems verification..

Before my PhD, I completed my B.A. in Computer Science at NYU Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences, where I worked with Prof. Michael Walfish and Prof. Aurojit Panda on computational verification. I also worked closely with Prof. Patrick Cousot on abstract interpretation and program logics.

Nowadays, I am mainly into rigorous reasoning with mathematical frameworks, but I'm also open to being persuaded to work on "in-"formal methods if I find them fun!

Feel free to reach out to discuss research or just to chat "cw0595" + "@princeton.edu"

Misc

  • I love Boba and Hotpot. My favorite Boba place at Princeton is Fresh Ó Tea.
  • I used to play with reverse engineering on Android Ransomware, when I managed to decompile APKs and break the obfuscation.
