About me

I am a researcher 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.

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.
