My current research interest is programming language and memory management. Garbage collection is a key technique in this area. garbage collection. Garbage collection can automate memory management which can eliminate memory leaks and dangling pointers. It is widely used in some modern languages like Java, C#, Lisp and Prolog. Although garbage collection relieves the burden of programmers on reclaiming memory for data, it can cause servers to slow down to a crawl or even crash. My research is to identify the factors that cause the inefficiency of GC and eliminate or alleviate the effects.
