I am an Assistant Professor in the EECS Department at The University of Kansas. I am interested in practical tools that help programmers build correct and efficient software. My research specifically uses programming language abstractions to design program analysis and synthesis techniques that facilitate automatic construction of functionally correct software.

I got my PhD from the University of Maryland, advised by Prof. Jeff Foster and Prof. David Van Horn. I have some industry experience working at Meta on the Hack programming language and at BrowserStack where I helped build cloud-scale testing infrastructure for apps and websites. Previously, I have contributed to SpiderMonkey - Mozilla Firefox’s JavaScript engine.

I am looking for students interested in programming languages research. Please send me an email if you want to work with me.
