Participation in a national research project with six partners from industry and academia.The objective of the project is to create a formally verified stack, from the CPU and OS to the application, for running safety-critical applications in Rust.

The contribution of our research group is the design and implementation of a formally verified compiler for Rust to RISC-V. This task comprizes two subtasks:

1. Formally verified compilation from Rust to Web Assembly (WASM):

• Definition of a subset that comprizes all important concepts of Rust concerning safe and secure memory management, concurrency, and type safety.
• Definition and implementation of translations from the Rust subset to WASM

1. Formally verified compilation from Web Assembly to RISC-V assembly:

• Definition and implementation of translations from WASM to RISC-V assembly
• Verification of the translations in Rocq

• Successfully completed university degree (Master, Diplom or equivalent) in Computer Science or a closely related subject, with very good grades
• Documented in-depth knowledge in Theoretical Computer Science
• Good knowledge of German and/or English required; willingness to acquire the respective missing language skills
• Experience with Rocq or a comparable theorem prover desirable
• In-depth knowledge of logic and proof theory desirable
• Knowledge of compiler design desirable
