The Programming Research Group is working on programming languages and software development environments. Our goal is to make programming more fun by advancing theory, design and implementation of programming languages and environments.
Theory and design of programming languages: We are investigating for example type systems, control operators, advanced module mechanisms, and program synthesis.
Implementation techniques for high-level programming languages: We are developing object-oriented support for high-level GPGPU programming languages, and runtime compiler frameworks.
Improving software development environment by applying program analysis and machine-learning techniques: We are developing live programming environments for the real programmers, an environment for teaching, code completion mechanisms and debuggers.
For more and detailed research topics, please look our projects page. We welcome interested students and researchers to join us.
The following paper has been accepted to PLDI 2024. This work is conducted by Tanabe when he was a researcher at Kyoto University. This work will be presented at PLDI2024 in Copenhagen, Denmark.
We celebrated graduation and welcomed newcomers in March 2024.
Yudai Tanabe has joined our group as an assistant professor. He has been a post-doc researcher at Kyoto University after he finished his Ph.D. in our group in March 2023. Welcome back!
We celebrated graduation of our members. This year, 3 masters and 5 bachelors were awarded their degrees. Three of them left the university while five will continue to work with us to pursuit the next degrees. We wish their bright future no matter where they will be!
Cahyono also received the Tokyo Tech Best Student Award, which awards the best student with excellent academic performance and character among the graduates in the department.
Saito, Tsunoda and Tsuyama received the Master’s degrees and will work as developers in tech companies. Cahyono, Kasuya, Kawazoe, Suda and Taniguchi received the Bachelor’s degrees and will pursuit the Master’s degrees in our group.
Around 20 students from Seiryo High School visited to join our group’s seminar. At the seminar, we discussed on a talk on “algebraic effect handlers and their application to game developments,” which was given by one of our members. We had many questions even after the seminar. We hope that the visit was fruitful to know something about research at universities.
