I am interested in programming languages and program analysis techniques for helping programmers to write efficient and robust code. I'm currently working on dynamic information flow for JavaScript security.

Personal

• I am playing the electric guitar just for fun. Here's my noisy playing of Stevie Ray Vaughan's Scuttle Buttin' - MP3 (don't forget to turn the volume down..)
• I enjoy swimming.
• I recently started running to make my weak heart strong.
  • I participated in the UCSD Chancellor's 5K Run/Walk For Scholars and my record was 28:45 (I need a HUGE improvement!)
