Teaching

My classes and projects are found on my MCIS Wiki Home Page.

Summer Computing Camp

The Math and CIS departments will be running a summer camp for high school kids again in 2008. I am organizing the camp and developing software. See the camp page for details.

Research

Looking for an independent study or a capstone project?  See my project page for some ideas.

My field of research is programming language design and implementation. I was one of the designers of the Haskell language and I have been developing "little languages" that deal with specific domains of interest. Some of these include:

• FVision, a language of visual tracking
• Frob, a functional robotics language
• Yampa, a general framework for Functional Reactive Programming.
• Haskore, a language of algorithmic music.
• Pan#, a language of interactive functional images.

I help to maintain haskell.org - the home of the Haskell language on the Internet.

My recent publications are here.
