Computer Laboratory - John Wickerson
John Wickerson
I'm currently a postdoctoral researcher at the Technische Universität Berlin , supported by a University of Cambridge Kurt Hahn Trust scholarship from the DAAD . My work focuses on software verification. I'm currently interested in diagrammatic proof systems for Rely-Guarantee reasoning and separation logic.
From 2008 to 2012, I was a PhD student in the Programming, Logic and Semantics Group , supervised by Matthew Parkinson and Glynn Winskel .
From July to October 2011, I was an intern at European Microsoft Innovation Center in Aachen, where I worked on the VCC project. From April to July 2010, I was an intern at Microsoft Research Cambridge , where I was supervised by Sir Tony Hoare .

22-Jan-2013 A graphical introduction to Separation Logic (Part II).
In the 2010/11 academic year, I was a lecturer for the MPhil course Programming Logics and Software Verification . The slides presented in my lectures are available here:
8-Feb-2011 Lecture 6. More Separation Logic. (pdf , 1.6MB)

Supervising
In the 2011/12 academic year, I supervised the following
Computer Science Tripos courses:
Denotational Semantics
Discrete Mathematics II
Hoare Logic
In previous years I have supervised:
Foundations of Functional Programming
Prolog
Semantics of Programming Languages
Specification and Verification I
Topics in Concurrency
Types
I supervise for Churchill College , where I also organise the Churchill Compsci Talks series.
