I am an Associate Professor in the Computer Science Department at Wellesley College. My passion is the study of programs and programming languages, which is at the heart of both my teaching and research. My interests include the design, analysis, and implementation of expressive programming languages and the visualization of computational processes. I also have a growing interest in computer security. My hero is Captain Abstraction.
