About me

I have been working as an Assistant Professor at the University of Amsterdam since 2023. Before that, I was a Research Associate at the University of Edinburgh from 2021 to 2023. Before that, I was at the Barkhausen Institut and the Chair for Compiler Construction, TU Dresden. I received a Ph.D. (Dr.rer.nat.) degree (Hons.) in computer science from TU Dresden, Dresden, Germany, in 2021 and an M.Sc. degree in mathematics in 2014 from RWTH Aachen University, Aachen, Germany.

My primary research interest is in the intersection of programming languages and compilers. Much of my work has focused on using models of computation to reason about an efficient execution of concurrent programs in heterogeneous multicore systems. An overarching goal of my research is to find the right abstractions that help both programmers and compilers reason about the program and its execution. I am interested in using theorem proving software and type theory to help bridge this gap, be it for hardware development or pure mathematics. From the other side, I am also interested in machine learning on compilers and programming languages.
