Educational Background

• B.S. Mathematics (May, 2000), University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill
  
• M.S. Computer Science (January, 2003), Rice University
• Ph.D. Candidate (Currently), Rice University
  

Research Experience

Cheryl McCosh's research interests include high performance/productivity computing, component integration, and compiler optimizations.  She is currently working on the telescoping-languages project headed by Ken Kennedy at Rice University.  Within the framework of this project, she is working on compilation strategies for high-level, domain-specific languages, including the development of a new type inference algorithm.
