Research

I am broadly interested in programming languages as a medium for human thought, expression and interaction with computer systems. My research mainly consists of applying tools, techniques and ideas from the study of programming languages to diverse domains.

Projects

Notational Programming: Incorporating handwritten inputs into programming practices
Computational Conveyances: Using programming language techniques to analyze conveyances in property law
Merlin Network Language: A network management language using regular expressions and bandwidth constraints
