I am a Senior Research Scientist at the Watson Research Center. My main research topic is on the design and implementation of programming languages. I am currently working on probabilistic programming.

Since I joined IBM, I have worked on many different projects which includes this following open source projects:

• PDL: a prompt and prompt pattern programming language
• ProbZelus: a reactive probabilistic programming language
• Yaps: programming Stan probabilistic models using python syntax
• DeepPPL: an extension of Stan with variational inference and neural networks that compiles to Pyro
• Q*cert: a query compiler written the Coq proof assistant
• X10: a language for high-performance, high-productivity computing
• CloudLens: a scripting language to analyze semi-structured textual data
• wcs-ocaml: a library use the Watson Conversation Service from OCaml

Before joining IBM, I have in particular developed the following languages:

• ReactiveML: a reactive extension of OCaml
• Lucy-n: a n-synchronous extension of Lustre
