Biography

Benjamin Chung is a doctoral student at Northeastern University's Khoury College of Computer Sciences, advised by Jan Vitek. He is mainly interested in gradual typing and in bridging the gap between academic gradual typing ideas and practical gradual typing systems.

Benjamin is focused on evaluating existing work in his research area, and he has been creating a systematic comparison of that existing body of information. He would like to allow programmers working in untyped languages to be able to write fast, typed, code within their language that provides similar performance to the compiled equivalent. After receiving his doctorate, he would like to continue in academia or transition to an industrial research laboratory.
