Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAndrew Myers is a professor of computer science at Cornell University with 27 years of experience researching and teaching programming languages, security, and distributed persistent objects. He develops language-based abstractions that make it easier to build trustworthy systems by addressing cross-cutting concerns like security, extensibility, persistence, and distribution. His work has guided seventeen Ph.D. students, nine of whom secured tenure-track positions, reflecting a strong record of mentorship and academic impact. Beyond academia he contributes to open-source systems, including enhancements to TensorFlow’s Java bindings to improve type handling and array compatibility. Trained at MIT (Ph.D.) and Stanford (BS), he combines deep theoretical foundations with practical systems-building. Colleagues rely on him for rigorous, language-centered approaches that turn hard system properties into usable programming abstractions.
