I am a researcher at the T.J. Watson Research Center in the Emerging System Software Department, which is part of IBM's Research Division. My research interests include all aspects of programming languages implementation, with an emphasis on environments for dynamic and feedback-directed optimization.

Currently, I am leading the Continuous Program Optimization (CPO) project within IBM’s DARPA HPCS initiative PERCS. The goal of CPO is to provide a whole-system approach to performance optimization that enables optimization across all layers of the execution stack, from the application, through runtimes, middleware and the operating system, down to the hardware. To achieve continuity CPO integrates optimization technologies that optimize a program prior to, during, and across executions.
