My research is currently supported by EPSRC grant EP/GO6917/1, a SICSA Distinguished Visiting Fellowship and a University of Strathclyde starter grant. Additional research support has been provided by these grants.

Clement Fumex began a PhD under my supervision on 1 February. His topic is Operational and Categorical Approaches to Parametricity.

Past research students (at Rutgers):

• Andrew Castellano
• Chris Savcak
• Tatsiana Sulkouskaya
• Jon Pospischil

Jon, Chris, and Drew won Dean's Undergraduate Research awards in 2005, 2006, and 2008, respectively, for their work on projects I have supervised (abstracts of Jon and Chris linked above).
