I am a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at the University of St Andrews, School of Computer Science. My main research interests include refactoring techniques and tools, parallelism, parallel patterns, parallel refactoring techniques, and heterogeneous systems. My main research goals is to build tools to improve the programmability of parallel systems for the expert and novice programmer.

I am a member of school's Functional Programming Group, and also a member of Centre for Interdisciplinary Research in Computational Algebra at the University of St Andrews.

Software

Projects

• SCIEnce -- (2006--2011) Symbolic Computing Infrastructure for Europe
• ParaPhrase -- (2011--2014) ParaPhrase project aims to produce a new structured design and \ implementation process for heterogeneous parallel architectures, where developers exploit a variety of parallel patterns to develop component based applications that can\ be mapped to the available hardware resources, and which may then be dynamically re-mapped to meet application needs and hardware availability.
• RePhrase -- (2015--?) The focus of the RePhrase project is on producing new software engineering tools, techniques and methodologies for developing data-intensive applications in C++, targeting heterogeneous multicore/manycore systems that combine CPUs and GPUs into a coherent parallel platform.
