My office is in the spectacular Bill & Melinda Gates Center for Computer Science & Engineering Room 309. The easiest way to find Gates Center 309 (aka CSE2 309) is to take one of the two side-by-side elevators to the third floor, turn left out of the elevator, then turn left again.
I have a free programming-languages course on Coursera
Materials I have packaged for others to use and adapt
Current Advisees:
Ph.D. Graduates and Their Dissertations:
My primary research area is programming languages, encompassing theory, implementation, and design. However, I have collaborated broadly, with applications in computer architecture, software engineering, large-scale data processing, and computational fabrication.
For specific work, see publications and presentations
For projects and news, see the UW PLSE group.
Some of my older projects are on other, sometimes outdated-but-preserved-for-posterity group pages: Sampa group, older plse page, even older WASP page.

I use my Facebook page regularly — if I have met you (including students, colleagues, etc.), please feel free to send me a friend request. My Twitter is mostly puns with occasional substance.
I joined UW CSE longer ago than 74 of 91 (81.3%) other current faculty members (reflecting arrivals/departures through January 2022).
A nice alumni-profile write-up of me from my undergraduate institution, March 2017, unpacks a few of the random events that led to where I am.
