Hi! I’m Sankha. I am a Ph.D. student in Computer Science at the University of Maryland, advised by Prof. Jeff Foster and Prof. David Van Horn. I work with the folks at the PLUM group.
I am interested in tools that help programmers build correct and efficient software. My research specifically focuses on program synthesis to facilitate automatic construction of functionally correct software from specifications like tests and types. For instance, my tool RbSyn demonstrates the approach by automatically synthesizing methods for Ruby on Rails apps.
Previously, I used to work at BrowserStack where I helped build large scale testing infrastructure for apps and websites. I also used to contribute to SpiderMonkey - Mozilla Firefox’s JavaScript engine.
I am on the job market this year. Here is my CV, research statement, teaching statement, and diversity statement. Please reach out to me if you think I will be a good fit.
