Byron's interests include computer/network security, program analysis/verification, programming languages, theorem proving, logic, hardware design, operating systems, and biological systems. Byron is the founder and leader of Amazon's Automated Reasoning Group (ARG). Some of his accomplishments are as follows: He was a researcher at Microsoft Research (joint appointment with UCL) from 2004-2014 and while there started the TERMINATOR project, which made a program termination prover that worked on industrially relevant programs, such as Windows device drivers.
