Current Interests

I recently joined the Embedded Systems group to work on better abstractions for programming unconventional and heterogeneous systems.

Previous Projects (at MSR)

mixed GPU/FPGA computation
functional graphics representation and rendering
programming an associative-memory machine
optimizing compilation for Java and .Net
program and data specialization
automated analysis of C/C++ programs
