I am a postdoc at Stanford in computer science working with Pat Hanrahan. I also recently received my Ph.D. from Stanford, and did my undergraduate degree at Princeton. I am interested in applying techniques from programming languages to make high-performance programming easier and useable by a wider audience. In particular, I do research in creating high-performance domain-specific languages for domains such as physical simulation, statistics, and image processing. As a part of my Ph.D. research, I also created the Terra programming language, a tool that makes building domain-specific languages easier.
