General:

I'm a PhD student at Portland State University. I spent my first year of graduate school at Oregon Graduate Institute (long story). I work with Mark Jones on the Programatica project. I graduated from the University of Oklahoma with a BS in Computer Engineering in 2003. While there, I worked on the Beseme project with Rex Page.

Research:

My primary research interests are functional programming languages and information-flow security. In particular, I'm interested in applying functional languages to systems applications, so that characteristics like strong type systems and purity can be leveraged for reasoning purposes.

Current activities include:

  • testing and documenting my Haskell implementation of the L4 microkernel, which is finally basically complete
  • searching for a thesis topic
