Ellen Arvidsson

Ellen Arvidsson is a researcher at Uppsala University, Sweden, specializing in programming language design and systems implementation with focus on memory safety and concurrency.

Her research interests include:

• Programming Languages
• Memory Management
• Concurrency Models
• Systems Programming

Current work investigates reference capabilities for flexible memory management and elimination of concurrent mutation hazards, bridging theoretical type systems with practical runtime efficiency. Recent publications demonstrate consistent contributions to language safety through novel ownership models and mutation control.

She actively participates in premier conferences including SPLASH/OOPSLA and POCL, with keynote presentations at VIMPL 2024 highlighting her leadership in ownership semantics and memory management research.
