Associate Professor

My interests are compilation, programming language design, and effective performance programming. However, I define these areas broadly. As a result, I ask questions such as:

  • How can compilers contribute to understanding climate change?
  • Can machine learning help us to automate compiler design and performance programming?
  • Can compilers revolutionize how hardware (ASICs, CPUs, ...) is designed?
  • Can formal verification increase confidence in self-driving cars?
  • How can performance programming become a smooth and interactive experience for developers?

Before joining Cambridge, I was a Reader at the University of Edinburgh, an Ambizione Fellow at ETH Zurich, and a Google PhD Fellow at École Normale Supérieure Paris. I studied computer science as an undergraduate at the University of Passau in Germany.
