As it turns out, event orderings form the cornerstone of correctness (e.g., memory consistency models) and security (e.g., speculation-based hardware exploits) in modern processors. Thus, my dissertation work creates formal, automated techniques for specifying and verifying the accuracy of event orderings for programs running on heterogeneous, parallel systems to improve their correctness and security.
