Formal Verification for Scientific Machine Learning

$450,000

Funder: National Science Foundation

Period: 2023-2026

Role: Principal Investigator

This project develops formal verification techniques for machine learning models used in scientific applications. We are creating a framework for expressing and proving correctness properties of neural networks that process scientific data and make predictions about physical systems.

Key Outcomes:

  • Lean library for representing neural network architectures
  • Formal proofs of robustness properties for scientific ML models
  • Case studies in climate science and molecular dynamics

Collaborative Research: Formal Mathematics for Scientific Discovery

$320,000

Funder: Department of Energy

Period: 2022-2025

Role: Co-Investigator

A collaborative project with physicists and computer scientists to formalize key theories in physics using the Lean theorem prover. The project aims to create a bridge between formal mathematics and scientific discovery in physics and related fields.

Key Outcomes:

  • Formalization of quantum mechanics principles
  • Automated reasoning tools for physical theories
  • Interactive visualization of formal proofs
