 Chambers's research interests lie in the design and implementation of advanced programming systems, incorporating expressive programming languages, efficient implementations, and supportive programming environments.  He currently is investigating object-oriented languages and leads the <a href="http://www.cs.washington.edu/research/projects/cecil/www">Cecil and Vortex</a> projects: Cecil is a purely object-oriented language serving as a vehicle for investigating multi-methods, static typing, modules, and other features, and Vortex is an optimizing compiler system for object-oriented languages incorporating intra- and interprocedural static analyses and profile-guided optimizations, with front-ends for Cecil, C++, Modula-3, and Java.  Previously, Chambers was a member of the <A href="http://self.smli.com">Self</A> project.  <P>
