Programming Languages

I am broadly interested in languages and their implementations and tools.

Software Engineering

My primary interest is in SE is software reliability, validation and verification. I'm a strong advocate for Agile development methodologies, and might be interested in methodologies or tools to support them.

Potential Thesis Topics

While I am most interested in my active research areas above, I have broad-ranging interests in computer science, and would consider supervising students in many areas if I felt comfortable with the research area and there was a good fit with the student.

Other topics

You might find something in my undergrad thesis topics that could be expanded to be a reasonable research topic for a grad student.
