Aquinas Hobor: Home

As of October 23, 2011, I have become a Lecturer at National University of Singapore's School of Computing.  I was a Lee Kuan Yew Postdoctoral Fellow from October 23, 2008 - October 22, 2011. 

Since I have been in Singapore I have been refining some of the semantic techniques developed in my thesis, particularly models for higher-order separation logics.

I have also been investigating other aspects of concurrency, and have been thinking about program logics for weak memory models.
