INVITED SPEAKERS
TFP is pleased to announce talks by the following two invited speakers:
John Hughes of Chalmers, Goteborg, Sweden, is well-known as author of Why Functional Programming Matters, and as one of the designers of QuickCheck (together with Koen Claessen); the paper on QuickCheck won the ICFP Most Influential Paper Award in 2010. Currently he divides his time between his professorship and Quviq, a company that performs property-based testing of software with a tool implemented in Erlang.
Geoffrey Mainland received his PhD from Harvard University where he was advised by Greg Morrisett and Matt Welsh. After a two year postdoc with the Programming Principles and Tools group at Microsoft Research Cambridge, he is now an assistant professor at Drexel University. His research focuses on high-level programming language and runtime support for non-general purpose computation.
