Publications
Interests: My research interests are broad. Currently, I focus on problems related to and inspired by self-adjusting computation. Current projects include designing languages and compilers for self-adjusting computation and exploring its applications. I am also interested in problems inspired by self-adjusting computation such as provenance analysis, dynamic algorithms and systems in machine learning, computational biology, and scientific computing.
