معرفی
Eijiro Sumii is a Professor at the Graduate School of Information Sciences, Tohoku University, where he has been employed since May 2014. Previously, he served as an Associate Professor at the same institution from May 2005 to March 2014, and as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of Tokyo from April 2001 to March 2003. He has also held research positions at the University of Pennsylvania under Professor Benjamin C. Pierce.
Dr. Sumii's research focuses on the theoretical foundations and practical applications of programming languages and type systems. His work spans multiple domains including process calculi, partial evaluation, security foundations, and functional programming. He has made significant contributions to the field through his development of MinCaml, an educational compiler, and his Japanese translation of the seminal work "Types and Programming Languages" by Benjamin Pierce.
His recent publications demonstrate a consistent focus on programming language theory, with particular emphasis on type systems for security applications, partial evaluation techniques, and functional programming paradigms. The publications reveal a trajectory moving from foundational theoretical work toward more applied security and distributed systems research.
Dr. Sumii is highly active in the academic community, having served on program committees for major conferences including ICFP, POPL, PLAS, and ESOP. He has organized numerous workshops and conferences, including serving as program chair for ICFP 2016 and FLOPS 2014.
He is the organizer of the PEPT (Partial Evaluation and Program Transformation) mailing list, which serves as an important forum for researchers in this specialized area. His leadership extends to membership in the Global Young Academy since May 2015 and the Young Academy of Japan since November 2010, where he served as Secretary from February 2015.
