Dana N. Xu joins the Gallium team
- 2009-11-17
Dana N. Xu is now an INRIA research scientist in the Gallium team. Welcome, Dana!
The Gallium project-team
Gallium is a project-team of INRIA, part of the Paris-Rocquencourt research center, located in the western suburbs of Paris. Created in January 2006, it is the successor to the Cristal team.
At Gallium, we conduct research on the design, formalization and implementation of programming languages and systems. The Caml language embodies many of our research results. Our objective is to improve the reliability of software systems through:
- higher-level, safer, more expressive programming languages based on the functional programming paradigm;
- automatic error detection via type systems and related static analyses;
- better linguistic support for formal methods, especially mechanized proofs of programs.
