Academic Achievements
  • Named a 2025 Guggenheim Fellow
  • Developed neurosymbolic program synthesis algorithms including sketch learning (Bayou), neural admissible heuristic search (Near), imitation-projected descent (Propel, PIRL), and LLM-aided evolution and abstraction (LaSR)
  • Pioneered neurosymbolic program representations such as modular neural architectures (Houdini), compositions of neural predictors and traditional software (DSE), and differentiable relaxations of symbolic programs (Near)
  • Recent publications on LLM agents for theorem proving (Copra), search-based natural language deduction (SCSearch), and compositional world modeling (Cosmos)
  • Delivered tutorials on neurosymbolic programming at NeurIPS 2022 and POPL 2023
  • Co-authored an op-ed on the 2023 AI Safety Executive Order
Research Experience
  • Leads the Trishul lab, investigating problems at the interface of automated reasoning, machine learning, and programming languages
  • Has worked on program synthesis for many years—early work based on symbolic formal methods (e.g., Lambda2, ConSynth), recent work on neurosymbolic approaches
  • Extensive background in automated reasoning: PhD work on automata-theoretic formal verification (Nested Trees); current work on neurosymbolic formal and informal (visual/textual) reasoning
  • On leave at Google DeepMind's Science and Strategic Initiatives Unit in London since Fall 2024
  • Served as Program Co-Chair for ICLR 2024
