Research Experience
- Professor at the Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering, University of Washington.
- Led the development of algorithmic program synthesis using sketches and constraint solving.
- Pioneered solver-aided languages that offload programming tasks to constraint solvers.
- Led research on Rosette, a host language for solver-aided domain-specific languages (SDSLs), developed by Emina Torlak.
- Developed synthesizers Prospector and CodeHint for API-level code composition.
- Working on scaling synthesis to system software via abstract and modular algorithms, and exploring synthesis-aided compilers.
- Collaborated with Mozilla to generate a parallel layout engine for web browsers and data visualization using abstract synthesis.
- Created Chlorophyll, a synthesis-aided compiler for spatial architectures targeting the GreenArrays GA144 processor.
- Recently began work on synthesis-aided compilation of probabilistic programs in collaboration with CRA and NIMBLE.
- Developing tools for computer-aided programming and data manipulation for scientists and end users.
- Applying program synthesis to executable biology to infer mechanistic models from experimental data.
- Designing a stack for Programming by Demonstration (PBD) web applications, including a deterministic replayer, scraper, and relational query synthesizer.
- Advancing Programming By Manipulation (PBM) to simplify layout programming for data visualizations.
