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.
• Outstanding technical computer programming 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
