Pavel Panchekha
I am Pavel Panchekha. I apply programming languages techniques to web browsers and numerical analysis at the University of Utah.
Web browsers
I research web browser internals. Past projects include:
- Formalizing browser layout
- Web layout verification
- Fuzzing layout invalidation
- Multi-tenant garbage collection
- Optimizing 2D graphics
I am writing a textbook on web browsers, which inspires a lot of these projects.
Automated numerics
I also work on automatic numerical analysis. Past projects include:
- Automatic accuracy improvement
- Synthesis via term rewriting
- Scalable static accuracy analysis
- Automatic program tuning
- Compution over the reals
- Math library implementation
I lead the FPBench and Herbie projects, where a lot of my research is deployed.
