Principal Researcher, Oracle Labs
I am a Researcher at Oracle Labs, working on program analysis and optimization techniques. I received my PhD from the University of California, Irvine, working under the guidance of Prof. Michael Franz in his Secure Systems and Software Laboratory.
My research interests are in the area of Programming Languages Design and Implementation with a focus on Program Analysis. I am currently a core contributor of GraalVM.
