Name:Matthew Hammer

Bio:

I’m interested in designing PL-based abstractions for settings in which humans and computers cooperate to create and process information. In particular, I’ve co-created abstractions for Incremental Computing (See Adapton for details) and for Secure Multiparty Computation (See Wysteria for details).

I am an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at University of Colorado Boulder. I am a co-director of the CU Programming Languages and Verification group (CUPLV). Before joining CU, I was a postdoc researcher working with Michael Hicks, Jeff Foster, David Van Horn and the PLUM group at the University of Maryland. As a PhD student, I was advised by Umut Acar.
