Curriculum Vitae
Research Statement
Teaching Statement
Diversity Statement

I am a postdoctoral researcher in the ANTIQUE team at INRIA and École Normale Supérieure (Paris), working with Caterina Urban. I am also a visiting assistant professor at Tufts University.

Previously, I was a postdoctoral researcher at Purdue University, and I obtained my Ph.D. in Computer Science from Purdue University, advised by Tiark Rompf. I received M.S. degree in Computer Science from the University of Utah, advised by Matt Might. I was an intern at SambaNova Systems, Galois, and Baidu. I occasionally take notes of what I read, collect elegant programs, or post random thoughts in my Blog.

I will join CS@Tufts as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2025. If you are interested in working with me in programming languages, formal methods, or software engineering, feel free to reach out!

Research🔗

I study the scientific and engineering aspects of programming, driven by a fascination with how it allows people creating abstractions and communicating ideas. My research aims to develop novel notions and tools that empower people to build correct, safe, and efficient software.

More specifically, I am interested in type systems, program analysis/verification/testing, compilers/interpreters, metaprogramming, as well as their applications.
