Elisa Gonzalez Boix

Elisa Gonzalez Boix is a Professor at the Software Languages Lab, where she leads the Distribution and Concurrency (DisCo) research group. Her work focuses on advancing distributed computing and concurrent programming paradigms within software language design and implementation.

Research Interests:

• Distributed Systems: Scalability, fault tolerance, and network resilience in decentralized architectures
• Concurrency: Parallel execution models, synchronization primitives, and non-determinism management
• Programming Languages: Language semantics for distribution/concurrency abstractions
• Software Engineering: Tooling and methodologies for complex system development

As head of the DisCo group, she drives research at the intersection of language theory and practical system engineering, addressing challenges in modern distributed applications through innovative runtime and compiler techniques.
