What's New?

New Research Opportunities (with funding)
Official release of the abc AspectJ compiler, a complete implementation of a compiler for AspectJ that is designed for extensibility and optimization. Try it out!
Lots of people are using Soot, our framework for analyzing and transforming Java. We have a new list of users of Soot, let us know if you would like to be added.
Here is some information about the AspectJ programming language and AspectJ compilers .

Research Description

My main area of research is the development of compilers for object-oriented and aspect-oriented programming languages. I also have a long-standing interest in pointer analysis and program analysis frameworks. My current research interests are:

The continued development and new applications of Soot, and framework for the analysis and optmization for Java.
A joint project with Professor Oege de Moor's group at Oxford on compiling and language design for aspect-oriented languages. This work relies heavily on the jointly-developed abc compiler for AspectJ.
The application of program analysis for tool development, including tools to aid in program understanding and program development. Examples of such projects include developing a Soot plugin for Eclipse, work on visualizing program executions, and the development of dynamic metrics.

An important facet of my work is that new research ideas should be developed along with software infrastructures to test those ideas. This has led to the development of many publicly available software frameworks, more details can be found on the group's web site at http://www.sable.mcgill.ca . Our research group hopes that other groups will use their software, and will contribute new pieces back them so that all compiler groups can benefit from the work.
