My name is Shaokai Lin. I graduated from the CS PhD program at UC Berkeley, advised by Prof. Edward A. Lee and Prof. Sanjit A. Seshia.

I build safe, intelligent systems that are (i) formally verifiable and (ii) high-performance.

My PhD thesis brings these two properties to real-time distributed systems, with applications including self-driving cars, robotics, and aerospace.

Before PhD, I was a undergraduate student at Columbia University, where I collaborated with Prof. Stephen Edwards, Prof. Ronghui Gu, Prof. Gil Zussman, and Prof. Lior Horesh.
