Apparently Outlook has a timing-dependent bug where if you (i.e., me) look at your (i.e., my) notifications on Android, some emails disappear from your inbox? This definitely happened to at least 2 emails I got notifications for, so if you emailed me please try again and/or DM 🤦.

Are you interested in doing a PhD, but can't figure out if you want to do linguistics or programming languages? Or you'd ideally do some combination thereof? Maybe you should come with me at their intersection:.

side of things (already finding cases where existing work on English syntax and semantics need innovation to talk about software objects and properties we like for software). I'm starting from from the PL side of this, but also actively branching out into the linguistics.

I'm looking for a PhD student interested in connecting classic techniques from linguistic syntax and compositional semantics with software specifications. I really want to dig into *both* the specification side of this (useful tools) *and* the linguistics. .
