Current Activities
-
I am an active developer of MLton: an open-source, whole-program, optimizing Standard ML compiler.
-
I am collaborating on the development of Manticore: a heterogeneous parallel programming language aimed at general-purpose applications running on multi-core processors.
-
As a programming languages researcher, I am excited about the opportunities for mechanizing reasoning about programming languages. The POPLMark Challenge hopes to spark additional interest in this problem. As a result of discussions about the POPLMark Challenge, I have started using Twelf in my research, and I have collected a set of interesting examples.
-
I participate in both HYPER, the Hyde Park programming languages reading group, and PL Group, a weekly forum for informal talks on relevant and interesting topics in programming languages.
Biography
I graduated with a Ph.D. in computer science from Cornell University in January 2007. My advisor was Greg Morrisett (now at Harvard University).
I graduated with a B.S. in mathematics from Harvey Mudd College in 1999. My advisor was Arthur Benjamin.
