OPPORTUNITIES（招收学生）

• Undergraduate Students: (1) projects about algorithm verification and/or (2) projects about smart contract verification. Pick an algorithm or a smart contract, prove its correctness and efficiency, FORMALLY. 

• Masters & Doctoral Students: projects about logics for program verification. The general theories of how to prove programs correct.
