Research and Development

I am Professor in the Programming Languages and Theory of Computation section at the Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen, where I serve as head of the PLTC Section and head of studies for the BSc education on Computer Science and Economics.

Until 2018, I served as Center Manager for the HIPERFIT Research Center, which, with special attention to the finance industry, focused on solving problems within the domains of high-performance computing and big data.

From May 2008 to April 2012, I worked in SimCorp as Chief System Development Consultant. From April 2009, I was team leader for the SimCorp Instrument Modeling Language team. The team focused on providing support for quick time-to-market financial instruments, written in a domain specific ML-like programming language and integrated into a .NET development platform [2014].

I have conducted research in the design and implementation of high-level programming languages. My research interests have been in the areas of module systems, platforms and type systems for Web applications, program optimisation, type systems for static memory management, transient fault tolerant computing, garbage collection techniques, and instruction selection for virtual machines and different microprocessors, including the x86 microprocessor. I have also done work in the area of constraint-based program analyses.

From February 2006 until August 2006, I was on leave from ITU and served as CTO at Zecure, a small company focussing on solutions for Internet payment processing and e-commerce fraud detection.

During 2013, I was involved in establishing a european research program on Global Systems Science.

I am a (co-)designer and (co-)developer of the following tools:

  • Futhark. A purely functional data-parallel language targeting GPGPUs [2014b, 2015, 2015a, 2016, 2016a, 2017, 2018a, 2018b, 2019, 2019a]. Futhark is a statically typed, data-parallel, and purely functional array language in the ML family. It comes with a heavily optimising ahead-of-time compiler that generates efficient GPU code via OpenCL, using a number of fusion- and special-purpose optimisation techniques.

  • The TAIL APL compiler. A compiler for the APL programming language, which targets a typed intermediate language [2014a, 2015b, 2016a]. The ultimate goal of this project is to provide a way for APL programmers to target data-parallel architectures, using a subset of well-known APL functions and operators, many of which, by design, are naturally data-parallel.

  • SMLtoJs. A compiler from Standard ML to JavaScript. SMLtoJs allows for building AJAX applications using a statically typed language. It compiles all of Standard ML and has support for calling JavaScript functions and for executing JavaScript statements. It also allows for type safe integration with SMLserver using, for instance, XML-RPC; see below. SMLtoJs may compile itself - the result is a Standard ML compiler running in a browser [2011, 2018c].

  • SMLserver. An efficient multi-threaded Web server platform for Standard ML programs [2002, 2002b, 2003b, 2004, 2018c]. The aim of the SMLserver project has been to push advanced programming concepts, such as higher-order functions and polymorphic type systems, to the context of Web applications. The development of SMLserver has been driven by practical needs. SMLserver is used as the basic Web platform for a series of Web services at the IT University of Copenhagen, including a course evaluation system, an online course registration system, an alumni database, and the employee and student database and search facility (more than 250.000 lines of Standard ML). SMLserver has been built as a Web server module (for Apache or AOLserver) and has support for efficient pooling of database connections for Oracle (based on OCI), Postgres, and MySQL databases.

  • MLKit. An optimizing compiler for the programming language Standard ML [2002c]. In the context of the MLKit, I have been working on combining dynamic garbage collection techniques and region-based memory management to gain a higher degree of control over memory resources [2021, 2020, 2004b, 2003a, 2002a]. Whereas the runtime system of the MLKit is written in C and assembler, the MLKit compiler itself is written in Standard ML.

  • Carillon. A tool to find Y2K problems in C programs [1999a].

In the context of the HIPERFIT research center, I have also worked on techniques for specifying, managing, and pricing financial contracts [2015c, 2016c, 2018, 2019c, 2019d], in particular, in the context of blockchain technology [2017a].

I have also participated in a research project on bigraphical programming languages, which aims at modeling and controling connectivity and locality for mobile and distributed systems [2006]. Moreover, I have done work in the area of code generation for transient fault tolerance [2007].

To ease administration of teaching, I have developed an advanced generic Web-based system, called CourseGrader, for managing course home work assignments and grades. The system is based on a combination of TCL and Oracle and makes highly use of PL/SQL for efficient online computing of grades based on a set of course-configurable rules.

Research at Berkeley

From January 1999 until December 1999, I possessed a postdoctoral research position at University of California, Berkeley, where I worked with Associate Professor Alex Aiken. The work involved getting automatic program analyses to scale to large programs. One example application that we have developed is Carillon, a tool for finding Y2K problems in C programs [1999a]. Carillon has been used to locate a Y2K glitch in CVS version 1.9 (fixed in version 1.10), a version-control system widely used in the open-source software community.

Ph.D in Computer Science

I obtained my Ph.D. degree from the Department of Computer Science, University of Copenhagen (DIKU) in December 1998. My Ph.D. supervisor was Associate Professor Mads Tofte. Members of the thesis committee was Xavier Leroy, INRIA Rocquencourt; Greg Morrisett, Cornell University; and Hanne Riis Nielson, Aahus University (Chair).

My Ph.D. thesis [1999b] is titled ‘‘Program Modules, Separate Compilation, and Intermodule Optimisation.’’ The thesis is about a series of techniques that allow for compiling program modules in such a way that little overhead is incurred by dividing a program into distinct modules. As a part of my Ph.D., I have worked with a group of highly motivated professors and students in the development and use of new compiler technology. The techniques developed in my Ph.D. thesis are used in the MLKit [2002c].

As part of my Ph.D. program, I spent seven months (from January to August 1997) at Cornell University, New York, USA. Here, I worked with Assistant Professor Greg Morrisett and with people from Carnegie Mellon University on the development of a system for separate compilation in the TIL (Typed Intermediate Languages) Standard ML compiler.

During my Ph.D. program, I gained experience in teaching courses for Master’s degree students in the areas of type theory, compilation techniques for module languages, and techniques for type-based program optimisation. My Ph.D. work resulted in a series of papers and reports [1999, 1999b, 2002c, 1998].

Research Programmer

From September 1994 to May 1995, I was employed as a research programmer to work on the MLKit. During this time, I worked on an efficient implementation of the type system for the Standard ML Modules language. Moreover, I implemented–with other people in the MLKit group–a back-end for the MLKit that generates efficient machine code for the HP PA-RISC microprocessor [1995]. Since then, I have ported this back-end to the Intel X86 microprocessor and to an embeddable virtual machine [2002] for use in a Web server [2004, 2003b, 2002b].

M.Sc. in Engineering

I initiated the Master of Science program in engineering at the Technical University of Denmark in September 1988. I spent the year 1991/92 at Whittier College, Los Angeles, USA, where I took classes in physics, computer science, mathematics, and philosophy. In the second part of the Master’s program, I specialised in computer science. I finished the Master’s program in August 1994 with a Master’s project, on which Associate Professor Peter Sestoft was my advisor. The title of my Master’s thesis [1994] is ‘‘A Portable Implementation of Standard ML.’’ This thesis is about the implementation of the static semantics (parsing and elaboration) of Core Standard ML (Standard ML without Modules) and about implementation of the dynamic semantics (runtime system and compilation into byte code) of Core Standard ML.

In the last year of my M.Sc. program, I worked as a part-time programmer in Siemens Nixdorf Information Systems A/S, where I worked with database technologies (Oracle), for implementing work-flow applications.
