Very excited to share that my PhD student Grayson’s VeriContest work has been accepted to NeurIPS 2026! 🎉
VeriContest pushes verifiable code generation toward more realistic, large-scale evaluation with rigorous specifications and machine-checkable proofs. Please check it out!
🚀 Attention future researchers! I’m thrilled to announce that our Hiprel Group in UVA CS is now recruiting PhD students for Fall 2026!
Do you have a passion for advancing Neuro-Symbolic AI and applying it to improve software reliability? We’re exploring how to:
💡 Combine deep learning (LLM/GNN/RL) with automated reasoning
💡 Advance verifiable code generation
💡 Strengthen the reasoning and verification capabilities of LLMs and apply these capabilities to improve software reliability
We’re looking for curious, driven candidates with:
✅ Strong foundations in computer science and discrete mathematics
✅ Solid programming skills (C/C++ preferred)
✅ Experience with SAT/SMT solving or automated reasoning tools such as Kissat, Z3, Verus, Dafny, Lean, Coq, or Alloy — or a strong willingness to learn them!
✅ Bonus: Experience with LLMs, GNNs, RL.
🌟 Interested? Complete the application form linked on our recruit page (https://t.co/5yJ7mzB4xg) and let’s talk research!
🙏 Please help spread the word!
Thrilled to share that our RFCScope paper, the very first paper authored by my intern and PhD student under my supervision, has been accepted to ASE 2025! I’m so proud of their hard work and excited to see it presented at ASE.
Our Hiprel Group is recruiting PhD students (Fall 2026) and year-round interns to drive innovative research at the intersection of machine learning, automated reasoning, and software engineering.
