About me

I am a postdoc at the Bergen Language Design Laboratory at the Department of Informatics of the University of Bergen, where I work with Magne Haveraaen, Eva Burrows and Tero Hasu in the Bergen Language Design Laboratory.

Research interests

My research interests include:

• Programming language design and implementation
• Software language engineering
• Semantics of programming languages
• Domain-specific languages and language extensions
• Program transformation (with Rascal MPL or Stratego/XT)
• Programming Multicore Systems
• Aspect-Orientation, particularly Domain-Specific Aspect Languages

Currently, I’m working on designing the Magnolia Programming Language.
