This Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF)'s Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program totaling $174,966 will support research to develop techniques for embedding and reasoning about existing computer programs using formal verification methods. The project aims to create tools that translate C code to mixed embeddings enabling equational reasoning, generalize mixed embeddings to support programs written in both C and Haskell, and explore techniques for transferable proofs across programming languages. This work focuses on shallow embedding techniques shown to enable simpler verification, with the goal of providing a simple framework for mechanically reasoning about functional correctness of software. The award was granted to Portland State University and will be performed over a 2-year period from September 2024 to August 2026. No sub-awards are planned under this grant.
