This page will likely be updated infrequently. I was an associate professor at Texas A&M until 2016, now hold an adjunct position. My current homepage is here.

Software

The MultiselectJS is a JavaScript library for implementing multi-selection (with a mouse, etc.) in any context where multi-selection is meaningful.

The HotDrink project is a library for declaratively programming user interfaces.

The Boost Tuple Library and the Boost Lambda Library are generic programming libraries I've been involved in developing. Another small but useful C++ tool is the enable_if family of templates, also part of the C++ Boost library collection.

C++ standardization

I'm involved in the C++ ISO standardization process. Some of the libraries and features I have worked on include tuple types, support for partial function application (bind templates), core language support for inferring the type of a variable from its initializer expression, decltype operator, auto specifier, a constraint system for C++ templates ("concepts"), variadic templates, and lambda expressions. See my publications page for technical reports that contain more detailed description of the topics.
