History

Previously I served as junior professor for Software Engineering and Programming Languages at Goethe University Frankfurt. Before that, I worked in the software industry at Google, and in research, both at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst, on parallelisable query languages for Java, as a postdoctoral fellow with Yannis Smaragdakis.

I completed my PhD on program metamorphosis at the University of Colorado at Boulder in 2010. Program metamorphosis is a novel technique for interactive multi-step program transformation with strong behaviour preservation guarantees and described in more detail here. My PhD supervisor was Amer Diwan (now at Google).
