Faculty Application

I am applying for tenure-track faculty positions (Assistant Professorships) this year. I expect to graduate from the University of Washington with a Ph.D. in June 2019, completed under my advisors Zachary Tatlock and Michael Ernst.

You can contact me for more information at pavpan@cs.uw.edu.

Research

My research develops practical tools that help programmers analyze, verify, and improve programs. I draw upon programming languages techniques from superoptimization, satisfiability modulo theory, and proof assistants, and apply them in domains from mathematical analysis to user interface design. I have built tools that translate scientific formulas into accurate floating-point programs and I have proved that web pages are accessible to users with visual and sensorimotor disabilities.

My first-author papers are:

Teaching

I have a dedication to teaching and mentorship. As a graduate student, I have closely mentored four undergraduates, of whom two are now in well-ranked graduate schools and two are applying this year. I have also participated in and then administered the graduate student mentoring program. I have also helped develop new, more applied curricula for the machine learning and compilers courses that I have TAd.
