With background in formal logic, our laboratory is seeking for new computational models, developing new methods for analyzing and verifying such models, and implementing new tools for analysis and verification. While our main target is software systems and programming languages, we also deal with molecular and biological systems, and we are currently doing research on molecular computing.
We employ abstract mathematical languages (esp. category theory and mathematical logic) to model various phenomena in computer science, aiming at fundamental understanding as well as novel applied methods. Current application areas include: formal verification, system correctness, information security, quantum programming, hybrid systems.
(i) Data management and analysis from high troughtput DNA sequencing machine and other high-throughput machines in biology. (Bioinformatics)
(ii) Biological pathway modeling and simulation for understanding a cell as system.””(Systems biology)
Nagasaki lab”Ēs interests are all research topics related to (i) and (ii), e.g. algorithm, data structure, information processing, learning, user interface and software development.
