Name:Simon Fowler

Bio:

I’m a Lecturer in Programming Language Foundations at the University of Glasgow School of Computing Science, where I am a proud member and lead of the Programming Languages Theme. I am also one of Glasgow’s representatives to the Scottish Programming Languages Institute.

I am interested, broadly speaking, in the design and implementation of functional programming languages.

My research focuses on programming abstractions and type systems. I like putting theory into practice (most of my research is accompanied by open-source software artifacts), and practice into theory (giving us the power to precisely understand, reason about, and build upon existing programming abstractions).
