I am a research staff member at IBM Research and a research affiliate at MIT CSAIL. At IBM, I am a member of Dynamic Optimization Group. At MIT, I work closely with the Commit and Raw groups.

I am currently leading a new project called Liquid Metal that explores new programming paradigms that aim to blend the boundaries between software and hardware.

I am generally interested in the design, implementation, and analysis of introspective and evolutionary computing systems. Topics of research include programming languages, compilers, and architecture.

Latest news:

• Our paper on compiling stream programs to FPGAs was accepted for publication in the proceedings of the 2008 International Conference on Compilers, Architecture, and Synthesis for Embedded Systems (CASES).

• Our paper on Liquid Metal was accepted for publication in the 2008 European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming (ECOOP).

Older news:

• I organized the third annual workshop on software tools for multicore systems (STMCS). The workshop is colocated with CGO.

• A new version of Trimaran is now available. It features automatic vectorization, support for multi-clustered architectures, and a framework for ISA exploration.

• Our paper on efficient debugging using accelerated software watchpoints was presented at the 2008 Conference on Compiler Construction (CC).
