Computational Reasoning and Formalized Theory (CRAFT) Lab

CRAFT Lab is a research lab at the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) at the University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin). We work on computational reasoning systems that scale. We work on computational reasoning systems that scale.

Welcome to CRAFT Lab

The lab develops and deploys production-grade software infrastructure for use
in theoretical research in mathematics, computer science, and software verification. Our work spans Interactive Theorem Provers (ITPs) such as Lean, SAT/SMT solvers, and the integration of Formal Methods with modern AI including autoformalization and AI-assisted proof search.

CRAFT Lab Seminar Series

The CRAFT Lab Seminar Series brings together researchers working across the areas of Formal Methods, Automated Reasoning, Artificial Intelligence, and theoretical Mathematics. Talks are held monthly on Thursdays at 3:00 PM CT and are open to all.

Research

The CRAFT Lab develops formal reasoning systems and makes production-grade tools and services accessible at scale. Our research sits at the intersection of Formal Methods, Artificial Intelligence, theoretical Mathematics and scalable systems infrastructure.

Tools

CRAFT Lab develops and hosts production-grade, open software infrastructure for formal reasoning and AI. A core part of our mission is making powerful tools genuinely accessible to researchers and educators — leveraging the world-class computing infrastructure at TACC.
