My advisor is Dr. Taha.
Multi-stage programming is a general framwork for type-safe program generation and metaprogramming. I'm interested in its basic metatheory and type systems, and also in using it to write verifiable (or just less buggy), low-level programs.
Exact real-number computations: Many computer applications require manipulation of real numbers, such as cyber-physical systems, graphics and computational geometry, and statistics. The conventional choice for implementing these systems is floating point numbers, which has the nasty problem of round-off errors. Determining the magnitude of the error that accumulates, and the damage it does, is often an extremely challenging and time-consuming task. Can we, instead, compute real numbers without fixing the precision, and still get reasonable semantics and performance?
