Research Interests

My primary interest area is programming languages. I'm interested in programming language design and implementation, and real-world language adoption issues such as language integration, interoperation, and deployment.

Some of my more specific interests include:

• source-to-source program transformations,
• compiler backends targeting source code, and
• applications to
  • implementing languages portably,
  • achieving language interoperability,
  • ease of adoption of new programming language technology,
  • implementing domain-specific languages (DSLs),
  • implementing specialized general-purpose programming languages,
  • extending existing programming languages.
