We are one of the largest research groups in the world to focus on the logical and mathematical foundations of computer science. Much of our work uses techniques such as category theory, type theory, proof theory, topology, domain theory, and game semantics, which we apply to deep and conceptual questions in a broad range of areas.
Below are some of our current research programmes and the group members leading each activity:
- Programming languages
