Filip Pizlo's Homepage
I'm a software engineer at a Major Silicon Valley Company (TM), where I mostly work on compilers and language runtime systems. I'm also finishing my PhD in computer science at the S3 Lab at Purdue University. Jan Vitek and Antony Hosking are my advisors. My research interests include memory management (specifically, garbage collection), real-time systems, concurrency, programming languages and compilers. I'm also interested in gamma-ray astrophysics, which I do as part of VERITAS. In my copious spare time I take a lot of pictures.
Most of my major research has involved various Java virtual machines, including Jikes RVM, Ovm, and Fiji VM. I have variously been on the core team of all three. These days most of my work involves WebKit. I work on the continuous optimization infrastructure in JavaScriptCore, and parts of the GC. I'm currently a WebKit reviewer.
