My research interests cover programming languages, parallel computation, foundations of programming, and symbolic computation. My focus area is the implementation of parallel functional languages. For more detail, see my page on research interests and vision or my biography.

Most of my publications are available on-line. My bibliographic data is also on Google Scholar and on DBLP. You can find my record on ORCID here.
