Research:

General area: programming languages, software engineering, and compilers. My current research interests center on these topics:
1. Program analysis and its applications to security, specifically (1) program analysis and compilation for multi-party computation (MPC), and (2) computation outsourcing and computation over encrypted data.
2. Program analysis for dynamic languages with applications to the specification and verification of machine learning libraries.
3. Practical type systems and type-based program analysis, specifically reference immutability and taint analysis.
