Name:Shriram Krishnamurthi

Bio:

I am the Vice President for Programming Languages at Brown University in Providence, RI, USA. I’m not, really, but that’s what it says on my business card.

I believe tropical fruit are superior to all other kinds. I’d probably rather be out riding a bike up a mountain (slowly). I am terrified of success, because I may be forced to buy a suit. You can learn other things about me from my very serious Web site.

I am also known to interrogate my audiences to ensure they’re paying attention. So, be alert. You can read email later.

Affiliation:Brown University, United States
