Mechanical geometry theorem proving, mechanization of standard and nonstandard analysis, interactive and automatic proofs.

Jacques Fleuriot received a MEng Computing, First Class, from Imperial College, London (1995) and a PhD in Automated Reasoning from the University of Cambridge (1999).  His received scholarships from the Government of Mauritius, Imperial College, The University of Cambridge and the Overseas Research Students Awards Scheme in support of his studies.  His PhD focused on automated theorem proving with application to Newton's Principia.  He received a BCS Distinguished Dissertation Award for this work.  In 1999, after completing his PhD, he was appointed to the post of Lecturer in Automated Reasoning at the School of Informatics at the University of Edinburgh.

Fleuriot has been principal investigator on recent grants on proof-planning and computer-based modelling.  He has been co-investigator on several grants on mathematical reasoning including a current EPSRC platform grant.  He is currently principal supervisor for three PhD students and has acted as principal or co-supervisor for seven successful PhD students.  He has also supervised several MSc students.  In recent years, he has taught courses in automated reasoning for MSc and final year undergraduates as well as co-teaching a course on reasoning and agents for second year undergraduates.  He was course organiser for Informatics 2 from 2008-2011 and is currently Director of Research for the School of Informatics.
