Oliver Kennedy#UB_DBPL has a few slots coming up in Dec and Spring for talks on topics in databases, programming languages or anything in between. We're happy to remotely host senior students looking for presentation experiences.
DM or email if interested.
Congratulations to Dr. Balakrishnan, #PhD.
Her thesis applies database techniques to make compilers faster, through the use of incremental view maintenance (avoid repeated tree traversals during optimizer passes), view re-use (inlining optimizer rewrites and IVM), and optimization (share pattern-matching work between rewrite rules).
Darshana, unfortunately, had to be remote... but #UB_DBPL turned out in force to support her.
