Programming Methods Laboratory 1

Laboratory

Summary

The Programming Methods Laboratory (LAMP) at EPFL focuses on advancing programming language design to address the increasing complexity of software systems. They work on software composition, exploring how to build structures from simple parts, connect components effectively, and ensure scalability. LAMP's research contributes to the development of Scala, a language designed for concise, elegant, and type-safe programming. They are known for projects like Dotty, the next-generation Scala compiler, and Scala.js, a platform for Scala to JavaScript compilation. LAMP offers opportunities for students to engage in semester projects and internships, emphasizing topics like reactive programming, parallelism, and advanced compiler construction.

Martin Odersky

Martin Odersky heads the programming research group at EPFL. His research interests cover fundamental as well as applied aspects of programming languages. They include semantics, type systems, programming language design, and compiler construction. The main focus if his work lies in the integration of object-oriented and functional programming. His research thesis is that the two paradigms are just two sides of the same coin and should be unified as much as possible. To prove this he has experimented a number of language designs, from Pizza to GJ to Functional Nets. He has also influenced the development of Java as a co-designer of Java generics and as the original author of the current javac reference compiler. His current work concentrates on the Scala programming language, which unifies FP and OOP, while staying completely interoperable with Java and .NET. Martin Odersky got his doctorate from ETHZ, in 1989. He held research positions at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center from 1989 and at Yale University from 1991. He was then a professor at the University of Karlsruhe from 1993 and at the University of South Australia from 1997. He joined EPFL as full professor in 1999. He is associate editor of the Journal of Functional Programming and member of IFIP WG 2.8. He was conference chair for ICFP 2000, and program chair for ECOOP 2004 as well as ETAPS/CC 2007.
