I am interested in programming languages and systems, in particular concurrent programming and memory management. I also care about formal methods, especially bit-precise reasoning through symbolic execution and bounded model checking. People in computer science know me for co-inventing logical execution time and the embedded programming language Giotto which by now have made their way into modern cars around the world.

I work on the design and implementation of programming languages. I led the implementation of the first real-time Java virtual machine to be flight-tested. With Noble and Potter, I proposed what became known as Ownership Types. I tried to understand JavaScript by dynamic analysis and am now looking at supporting scalable data analysis in R.

PhD, Poznań University of Technology, 2017

I am interested in contributing to programming language research, which is a new field to me. I have a background in distributed computing, concurrency, and transactional memory. I am currently exploring the R language, its compilation, tracing, and static analysis.

Erasmus Scholarship at University of Bristol, UK, 2006-2007

I used to work professionally on PS3 and PS Vita compilers and toolchains. I am interested in design, analysis and optimization of programming languages (mostly dynamic), big code & synthesis and embedded systems. Currently I am working on large scale analysis of code on Github (mostly JavaScript).

I'm interested in PL design and implementation, compilers, and functional programming. I used to work on generic programming in Haskell. I also worked at SFedU on an educational programming language PascalABC.NET and explored syntactic sugar models. Currently, I am exploring the Racket language and macro system.
