I'm an assistant professor in the Computer Science Department at Illinois Institute of Technology. My research broadly aims to use programming language techniques to make it easier to write correct and efficient software in many application domains, especially parallel computing. While the techniques I use to solve these problems are primarily drawn from PL, my interests have touched on algorithm design and computer systems as well. My interest in application domains spans from AI to computer science education.

Interests:

  • Language and type system design
  • Static resource analysis
  • Parallel computing

Research

Graph Types
Statically approximate the dependency structure of a parallel program, and use this approximation to construct efficient and language-agnostic analyses for important properties of parallel programs.

Responsive Parallelism
Extend elegant models of parallel software to account for important features of interactive programs such as responsiveness and priority.

Resource-aware GPU Programming
Develop tools and analyses to help programmers write more robust, efficient General-Purpose GPU programs.
