Benjamin Chambers


I'm a second year PhD student at Northeastern University's Programming Research Lab. My current research interests deal with verification and satisfiability, especially techniques for converting problems into CNF. I have also spent time implementing control flow analyses in the style of Shivers' k-CFA.

Research

Since Spring 2008 I have been a research assistant for Pete Manolios. My research has focused primarily on implementing a linear time conversion from boolean logic to Conjunctive Normal Form (CNF). I have recentely started to investigate adding more features to the input language, such as quantifiers and pseudo-boolean constraints.


Teaching

I was a TA for CSU 211: Introduction to Programming and Computing in Fall 2007. I was also an undergraduate TA at Georgia Tech for 3 semesters, teaching C, Assembly, and Systems programming to younger students.


Education

I received my Bachelors of Computer Science from the Georgia Institute of Technology in 2007.
