Through my research in HCI and software engineering tools, I typically make the annual rounds in conferences such as ICSE, FSE, and VL/HCC. Thus, having the opportunity to attend ECOOP 2016 was definitely outside of my comfort area, but it was worthwhile in that it provided me with exposure to …

I returned from ECOOP a few weeks ago, and have been trying to figure out what I got of the experience. I’ll focus on two big things.

For a long time I have been debating what I should do after I graduate, which I usually phrase as “industry vs academia”. I’m coming to understand this is a …

While I am happy to be back home in Indiana, I wish ECOOP could have lasted for another week. During my time at ECOOP I talked with other researchers about my research, and listened to talks about others’ research. I learned new benchmarking techniques that will improve my current research, …

I am really delighted to have attended the ECOOP conference this year in Rome. While this was my first time at ECOOP, I have attended other PL conferences before (POPL, ICFP), which made this experience a bit different, as I begin a new stage in my life as a researcher. While there is less …

ECOOP was very fun, interesting, and exhausting. I attended STOP, ICOOLPS, FTfJP, the Summer School, and also got to see a few talks from CurryOn and the main research track. There was a wide variety of topics, and even though I missed some talks I was interested in (due to volunteering shifts …
