Emina Torlak is a leader in the area of automated verification. She has
5+
made both conceptual contributions and built tools that are state of the
6+
art and widely used. On the conceptual side, the notion of a solver-aided
7+
programming language is hers and has quickly become standard terminology.
8+
Torlak defined a set of linguistic abstractions that elegantly generalized
9+
various prior point solutions that integrated solvers into languages. The
10+
rapidity with which the notion of solver-aided languages took hold
11+
indicates both how natural the idea is in retrospect and how relevant it
12+
is to a large group of researchers in the PL community.
13+
14+
Torlak demonstrated that it was feasible to build a fairly general-purpose
15+
solver-aided language with Rosette. The idea of a lightweight symbolic VM
16+
is principled and effective. She and her colleagues have successfully
17+
deployed Rosette in a wide and impressive variety of applications across
18+
domains, notably in systems. Further, Rosette is seeing broad application,
19+
including by researchers outside of the PL community. Finally, Torlak's
20+
tool Kodkod for finding solutions to Alloy models from her dissertation
21+
work has been and continues to be widely used.
22+
23+
In summary, Emina Torlak has contributed an impressive breadth of
24+
fundamental insights. Just as impressive is her depth of contribution to
25+
open-source software that others have been able to build their research
26+
on.
