Colin McDonald

University of Notre Dame
Class of 2023
Bachelor of Arts in Computer Science and Philosophy
Natural Language Processing Group

My broad research interests include programming languages, type theory, quantum computing, NLP, and formal logic. I'm particularly fascinated by dependent type systems, linear type systems, and characterizing effects in functional programming languages. I'm currently applying to PhD programs in computer science!

You can check out what I've been up to recently on my GitHub page.
