👋 Hi, there!

I'm Luyu Cheng, a PhD candidate in Computer Science at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology. My supervisor is Lionel Parreaux. My research interests lies in functional programming and programming language design.

I have developed several features for MLscript, an object-oriented and functional programming language founded and lead by Lionel Parreaux. MLscript supports records, generic classes, mix-in traits, first-class unions and intersections, instance matching, and most importantly, ML-style principal type inference.

Before that, I was a research assistant at Shandong University, where I worked on improving approximation algorithms for stream curve query. I also worked on an experimental project on the design of a domain-specific language for interactive data visualization.

Publications

So far, I have only a few publications. But I am working on projects on MLscript, and I hope to publish some papers in 2024. Stay tuned!
