About Me

I am a PhD student at the University of Cambridge Computer Laboratory and a member of Fitzwilliam College. I participate in the Cambridge Programming Research Group and the Theory and Semantics Group. I am funded by Microsoft Research.

My supervisors are Nick Benton, Tim Griffin and Alan Mycroft.

Andrej Bauer has put up a photo of me.

I hold BSc and MSc degrees in Computer Science from the University of Birmingham.

Research

My interests include Semantics of Programming Languages, Optimising Compilers and Static Analysis.

I am primarily interested in continuation-passing style, type and effect systems and the semantics of control (especially backtracking). Previously I worked with Hayo Thielecke on the relationship between the Visitor pattern and algebraic type encodings in System F (see our MFPS paper).

On Mondays I eat Semantics Lunch and on Thursdays we have LSD. The Mini Courses in Theoretical Computer Science are also helpful.

Teaching

Easter 2009

Lent 2009

In the past I have supervised Denotational Semantics, Types, Semantics of Programming Languages, Regular Languages and Finite Automata, Foundations of Functional Programming, Comparative Programming Languages, Discrete Mathematics II and Mathematics for Computation Theory.

I am keen to supervise student projects in any of the following:

Talks, Trips, Conferences

More

Publications

These are also available from my DBLP page.

Miscellaneous

My Erdős number is 4: Buchlovsky-Thielecke-Power-Makkai-Erdős.

I am a member of the CUGC and also the chairman. We fly from Gransden Lodge.
