This is the web-presence of Gabriel Parmer. I am a minimalist and my web-page reflects it. Please feel free to view the links above.

I am in the Doctoral program at Boston University in Computer Science. My advisor is Professor Richard West.

Research Interests: My research interests involve the composability and structuring of application-specific system services. Intrinsic in this study are issues of system-extensibility, modularity, and specification. The system should allow a fine-grained component based system to be constructed where the composition of the system itself might be quite different for each application, while concurrently ensuring isolation both of applications from each other, and of the system from the applications. Further, I am quite interested in using advanced application interposition to "hijack" certain system behaviors to provide customizable execution environments for demanding applications.

Recreational: I am an avid dancer, preferring Lindy-Hop, Blues and, most recently, Argentine Tango. I also have a deep and pervasive interest in philosophical issues, especially those concerning Morality and Ethics. I enjoy cycling, weather permitting, and running. I just completed the 2008 boston marathon in 3 hours 20 minutes and after telling myself I would only run one marathon, I might just have been bitten by the bug.
