Martín Abadi(born 1963)[1]is anArgentinecomputer scientist,working atGoogleas of 2024.[2]He earned hisDoctor of Philosophy(PhD) incomputer sciencefromStanford Universityin 1987 as a student ofZohar Manna.

He is well known for his work oncomputer security,onprogramming languages,andmachine learning.In security, Abadi developed (withMichael BurrowsandRoger Needham) theBurrows–Abadi–Needham logicfor analyzing authentication protocols, and with Needham received the IEEE S&P Test of Time award for his workPrudent engineering practice for cryptographic protocols.[3]

In programming language research, he published a book (withLuca Cardelli)A Theory of Objects,laying out formal calculi for the semantics ofobject-oriented programminglanguages.[4]Additionally, In 1993, he published the programming languageBaby Modula-3,a safe subset orsublanguageofModula-3,based onfunctional programmingand set theoryideals.

Abadi is a core developer for themachine learningframeworkTensorflow.[5]He has contributed to the development of differentially private stochastic gradient descent.[1]

He is a 2008Fellow of the Association for Computing Machinery.[6]In 2011, he was a temporary professor at theCollège de FranceinParis,[7]teachingcomputer security.He was elected a member of theNational Academy of Engineeringin 2018[8]for contributions to the formal theory of computer security.

He is related toMoussa Abadi,aSyrian Jew,and a member of theFrench ResistanceofWorld War II,and to investment banker and philanthropist Carlos Abadi.[9]
