Matthew Hammer

Hello, my name is Matthew Hammer and I am now a forth-year Ph.D. student at the Toyota Technological Institute at Chicago. I am interested in programming language theory, design and implementation. My adviser is Umut Acar.

I got my B.S. in 2005 from the University of Wisconsin with a major and honors in computer science. I've spent summers at IBM Research in Almaden and Intel Research in Santa Clara.
