Leif Andersen

Leif Andersen is a doctoral student studying programming languages in the Khoury College of Computer Sciences at Northeastern University. She is advised by Matthias Felleisen and is a part of the Programming Research Laboratory (PRL). Andersen studies compilers, domain-specific languages for writing compilers, and performance tools. Her goal is to create an open compiler that allows performance tools to be more easily created without the need to modify the compiler. Going forward, Andersen would like to further study and research compilers, and find out whether it is possible to write a nanopass framework that does pass fusion.
