My research interests are in the area of programming languages, operating systems, object-oriented systems and distributed computing, and more specifically in the region where they overlap (such as language design for distributed Object-oriented computing.)
My favorite system for trying out ideas is Squeak Smalltalk. I have written a few Squeak goodies that I believe are generally useful. I have been actively working on Traits with the folks from SCG in Bern; see Nathanael Schärli's Traits page for details.
We have just released a first edition of a new book for Squeak programmers: Squeak by Example.
A complete summary of my professional background over the course of my career is available.
My hobbies include cycling, cross-country skiing, hiking, mending houses.
