Our programming languages research spans many areas and includes type systems, language design, type inference, efficient implementation of higher-order typed languages, side effects, concurrency, security, and metaprogramming.

Our researchers also investigate a broad variety of theoretical problems with the goal of gaining insights into some of the most important issues in computer science today. Active research areas include streaming algorithms, pseudorandomness, approximation algorithms, theoretical networking, hardness of approximation, and cryptography.
