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, Valentin David, and Eva Burrows in the Bergen Language Design Laboratory. I’m currently working in the SEN1 group of CWI in Amsterdam.

Research interests

My research interests include:

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

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