Bio
I am currently a Ph.D. candidate in the Computer Science department at
the University of Massachusetts Amherst. I work as a research assistant
in the Architecture and Language and Implementation Laboratory (ALI).
Research
I am interested in the implementation of programming languages. My
research focus is on improving the portability and agility of the
compiler back-end, compilation performance (both static and dynamic
(JIT)), and performance and correctness of generated code.
