their promises of increased scalability and flexibility at a lower cost. Deep network programmability, that is the ability to program the network fabric both vertically (control and data plane) and horizontally (end to end), is expected to characterize the
new generation of mobile networks (6G), currently under development, towards supporting extreme performance requirements and service-specific operations. </span></p>

programmable data planes. To achieve this, the candidate will study, develop and apply programming language techniques such as static and runtime verification, formal specification, and language design, translation and implementation. </span></p>
