Vincent St-Amour

Email: stamourv at ccs dot neu dot edu Office: WVH308 I am currently a Ph.D. student in the programming languages group. I am working on Racket and Typed Racket, under the direction of Matthias Felleisen. I used to work at the LTP (Laboratory of Parrallel Processing) under the direction of Marc Feeley. Resume.

By popular demand, Racket stickers are available here.

See them in action!
