Research Supervision

If you are interested in starting a M.Sc or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science in our Department, and you would like me to be your supervisor, please read the following notes before applying.I consider applications only from students who are outstanding in some way. Here are some qualities I deem outstanding :

  • Excellent academic record (i.e. average grade of A-, or GPA of 3.7).
  • To be an independently imaginative and proactive person.
  • Excellent english writing skills.
  • General awareness of the scientific method.
  • All of the above.

I will do my best to answer your e-mail message, but I cannot guarantee to do so. I receive many applications and I answer only those that I find exciting, so please bear with any delays or lack of response.

Research Interests

  • Design and implementation of programming languages
  • Semantics of programming languages
  • Parallel and/or distributed computing
  • Demand-driven computation
  • Context-driven computation
  • Intensional programming
  • Software engineering
  • Software process modeling

Research Projects

General Intensional Programming System (GIPSY)

My main research project involves the design and implementation of a programming environment for a very special and unique programming language. The project is divided in different parts, each done by a different student. See the project web site for more details. Thus, here are the particularities of the work you would have to do in this project. If you want to work on this project, you have to be ready to accept those terms :

  • Work on compilers (COMP642: Compiler Design is required).
  • Work cooperatively with other students.
  • Work on a unique (some might say weird) but very interesting programming language.
  • Work on both theoretical and practical (programming) aspects.
  • Use of rigorous Software Engineering techniques for systems development.
  • Participate in the writing publications related to the thesis.
  • All MSc students on this project must be in the Thesis Option.

Other research topics

I am also open to work on other Thesis Option projects, provided that you send me (by e-mail) an extensive description (between 3 and 5 pages) of what you want to do, and why you want to do it with me.
