North American invasion of Spotted-Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii): A mechanistic model of population dynamics

Published in Ecological Modelling, 2016

Temperature-based fruit fly population modelling; work from when I was a research assistant in undergrad (I did the math).

The impacts of climate change on the abundance and distribution of the Spotted Wing Drosophila (Drosophila suzukii) in the United States and Canada

Published in PeerJ, 2017

An application of the fruit fly population model, running it over various predicted temperature models to observe how the populations would respond to climate change.

The VM Already Knew That: Leveraging Compile-Time Knowledge to Optimize Gradual Typing

Published in Proc. ACM Programming Languages, OOPSLA, 2017

Taking advantage of existing VM typechecks to minimize runtime typechecks, resulting in a more performant gradually typed JavaScript.

Reasoning About Foreign Function Interfaces Without Modelling the Foreign Languages

Published in ECOOP, 2019

Introducing nondeterministic semantics to allow us some metatheory in a well typed language with a foreign function interface, without requiring the full semantics of the foreign language. [talk included]

Enabling Additional Parallelism in Asynchronous JavaScript Applications

Published in ECOOP, 2021

Static side-effect analysis to identify independent asynchronous computations, and refactoring to reorder these statements and enable concurrent execution. [talk included]

Learning How to Listen: Automatically Finding Bug Patterns in Event-Driven JavaScript APIs

Published in TSE, 2022

Large-scale static analysis of JavaScript code and development of statistical model to automatically determine dead event listener registrations in popular event-driven APIs.

Nessie: Automatically Testing JavaScript APIs with Asynchronous Callbacks

Published in ICSE, 2022

Test generation for JavaScript API functions with asynchronous callback arguments. [talk included]

npm-filter: Automating the mining of dynamic information from npm packages

Published in MSR, 2022

Tool for automating the mining of dynamic information from npm packages and/or GitHub projects (in JavaScript/TypeScript)

Stubbifier: Debloating Dynamic JavaScript Applications

Published in ESME, 2022

Debloating JavaScript applications by identifying untested code via a callgraph analysis, and replacing this code with stubs to dynamically load it if needed.

A statistical approach for finding property-access errors

arXiv preprint , 2023

Large-scale static analysis of JavaScript code and development of statistical model to automatically determine incorrect property accesses, and client analysis to identify true positives in code bases (adaption of the event-listener registration error pattern detection approach).

The effects of computational resources on flaky tests

In submission to IEEE TSE, 2023

A tool for automatic identification of Resource-Affected Flaky tests (in Java, Python, and JavaScript code bases), and reporting resource configurations in which tests are (most) stable.
