Di Wang is an Assistant Professor of the School of Computer Science, Peking University. His research focuses are programming languages, formal verification, and probabilistic programming; his broader interests include type theory, program synthesis, concurrency, and Bayesian inference. His current main research directions include: (1) the mathematical foundations and domain-specific toolchains of general-purpose probabilistic programming, (2) the design and implementation of resource-safe programming languages, (3) quantitative analysis and verification of randomness and uncertainty in software systems.
