Research

When do you want to do research? Summer 2024

What is exciting to you about research? I enjoy the process of discovery, whether learning a new subject or just walking in a new area. I am excited by the possibility of creating abstractions that improve our ability to use hardware. Regardless of the results, I will have discovered something new about computer science and myself.

What kind of research do you want to do? I want to explore how novel type systems can improve error and exception handling in software programs, but I am happy to explore any topic.

Background

Was there a paper that particularly excited you? I enjoyed reading "Polymorphic Type Inference for Machine Code" by Michael Noonan et al. It was a fascinating intersection of low-level binaries and high-level inference rules, a connection I had never made before. This led me to Professor Sampson's research, where I have enjoyed reading his articles about GFA parsing.

Which of the current research projects would you be interested in working on and why? I am interested in the Gator project, because it focuses on removing classes of errors in a class of programs. I have taken CS4620 and CS3152, and so I have experience with computer graphics and the types of painful bugs that can arise.

Anything else you want to tell us about yourself? I am excited to see what is possible!
