Liana Hadarean is an Applied Scientist with 14 years of experience and a current Principal Applied Scientist role at AWS, blending deep research instincts with production-grade software engineering. She has hands-on expertise in formal methods and theorem proving, contributing to the cvc5 SMT solver by implementing LFSC checkable resolution proofs, proof output options, and bit-vector rewrites to improve proof quality and correctness. Comfortable operating at the intersection of algorithms, systems, and tooling, she turns complex verification problems into robust, auditable implementations. Colleagues rely on her for both careful bug fixes and feature designs that make advanced formal techniques practical in real-world stacks. Less obvious: she excels at translating low-level proof-system improvements into developer-facing configuration and CLI features that broaden adoption.
cvc5 is an open-source automatic theorem prover for Satisfiability Modulo Theories (SMT) problems.
