We design and study systems that improve the learnability, efficiency, and safety of software development.
Our research interests lie at the intersection of programming and human computer interaction, including online education, software development tools, and end-user programming. We work on making programming more productive for developers, and easier to learn for everybody.
CilkPride is a programming environment that aims to make performance and safety information always available and appropriately visible to the programmer.
