Research Interests:

Although both my undergraduate and graduate degrees are in computer science, I have always considered myself as much of a mathematician as a computer scientist. My Ph.D. dissertation was in recursion theory which is considered to be a field in both theoretical computer science and mathematical logic. I believe this personal lack of a dividing line between the two disciplines to be an asset and try to bring this larger view into the classroom. My current research is in programming languages.
