Research Interests

Compilers and programming language implementation, especially Java implementation.
Document conversion software, especially involving Adobe FrameMaker.
(Information about LaTeX to FrameMaker conversion software -- la2mml and LaImport.)
Lossless data compression.
An older research interest was string searching algorithms. There is an on-line animation of the Horspool string searching algorithm. (A simplification to the Boyer-Moore algorithm.)

Mike Zastre interviewed me and made a 5 minute video of me talking about some of my interests.
