Hi Michele--
I'm very interested in pursuing a PhD. I started developing with
Smalltalk while studying music and computer science at the University of
California at Berkeley. I went on to develop interactive audio tools at
Atari Games, consumer electronics applications at Interval Research, and
AI research at the IBM T.J. Watson Research Center, all with Smalltalk.
I've participated in the Squeak and Pharo communities since they began,
and have served on the Squeak board for several years.
I wrote the Flow, Naiad, and Spoon frameworks, for Smalltalk
streaming (including remote messaging), change management (including
team collaboration), and minimal system deployment (including
distributed operation). I would love to pursue them in the context of a
PhD. There's more information about them on my blog[1] and website[2]. I
use them in my own work with remote music collaboration, improvisation,
and livecoding[3].
I look forward to speaking with you!
thanks,
-C
