Programming Languages and Software Engineering

Research in programming languages and software engineering centres on tackling fundamental problems to improve the design, construction and analysis of software. The department covers a wide spectrum of research in this area, from theoretical underpinnings to practical tools supporting current and future ambitious software projects. Topics include software reliability and security, software performance, and interdisciplinary research.
