Research

In its mission to enlighten the digital world through Mathematical Logic, the LMF relies on formal methods as a tool to analyse, model, and reason about computing systems, such as computer programs, security protocols, and hardware designs. The research targets a wide range of computational paradigms, from classical to emerging ones such as biological and quantum computing.

LMF is structured around three hubs: Proofs and Models, which lie at the heart of our historical background, and Interactions, that is aimed at fostering cross-fertilisation between formal methods and other domains in computing science and beyond.
