I defended my PhD at MIT and will be joining Cornell CS as an assistant professor in January 2027, based at the Cornell Tech campus in NYC. I'll be living in Kazakhstan and Armenia this fall and would love to get connected with the local CS/tech community there!
I will be defending on April 24th (co-located with Amanda!). Please lmk if you're interested in joining, and we hope to see you there!
Wow thanks for the shout out!
I should say, there are research projects in this space that I think are compelling. Exo is cool! It's from the researchers who did Halide, an influential PL aimed at graphics. The exo folk are looking to update the approach for modern GPUs.

Dave Patterson’s op-ed is a great overview on how taxpayer-funded research built the backbone of modern tech: RISC, RAID, cloud, ... the list goes on. Encourage your representatives to fully fund the NSF and CISE!

I'm giving a talk at GPU mode tomorrow. Feel free to join the livestream:

Can there be an invasion of Iran? Hardly. Two maps explain why, and also why Iran is the way it is today, whether its regime will fall, what other superpowers will do, and in general why Iran is the way it is today

Story of all the 5th year PhD students
We started our Ph.D.s during COVID-19. Now, we’re graduating into political chaos | Science | AAAS science.org/content/article/…
We are hosting the MIT Programming Languages Review on April 25th in person here at MIT! The PLR is a student-run workshop that aims to highlight the best papers from the past year that we believe will have a significant impact on shaping the future direction of PL research.
Here is the workshop schedule. We have exciting speakers presenting their papers published at ASPLOS, OOPSLA, ICFP, PLDI, and so on.

Exo 2 news is out!
A new programming language from MIT could enable high-performance coding that can compete w/state-of-the-art libraries w/a few hundred lines of code, instead of tens or hundreds of thousands.
Called "Exo 2," the approach enables reusable scheduling libraries external to compilers: bit.ly/3XMK2Nq
I've been watching Timothy Snyder's class on Ukrainian history. This is super interesting, not only for learning about Ukraine's history, but also for getting a better understanding of what history is.

I'm shocked to see racism happening in academia again, at the best AI conference @NeurIPSConf. Targeting specific ethnic groups to describe misconduct is inappropriate and unacceptable. @NeurIPSConf must take a stand. We call on Rosalind Picard @MIT @medialab to retract and apologize for her statement.

Any language-design paper that starts out talking about letting languages grow and citing Guy Steele's talk is immediately interesting :)
We published the Exo 2 paper on arXiv! It's about designing user-extensible scheduling languages.
