My research concerns interactive theorem proving and its applications:

The Isabelle system is a popular generic theorem prover, developed in collaboration with Tobias Nipkow and his colleagues at T. U. Munich. During the 1980s, my work on LCF introduced concepts such as conversions and theorem continuations, which are still mainstays of the HOL system. I was involved in the design of the programming language Standard ML and have written one of the main textbooks, ML for the Working Programmer. Recent research grants concern temporal reasoning and verification of cryptographic protocols.

I am a Fellow of Clare College.Clare College
