Jay McCarthy

1 About Me

I am an assistant professor at Brigham Young University in the Computer Science Department.

I am a member of the PLT research group. I work on the Racket programming language.

I completed a Ph.D. at Brown University in the Computer Science Department. I worked with Shriram Krishnamurthi. I was an NSF Graduate Research Fellow.

I graduated from the University of Massachusetts at Lowell where I studied Computer Science, Mathematics, and Economics.

My work has been supported by the National Science Foundation’s Software and Hardware Foundations program.

2 Research Interests

I am interested in applying programming languages research techniques to cryptographic protocols and the Web, as well as other areas of security and systems. I am also very interested in theorem provers and program verification.

7 Projects

7.1 Current

I am responsible for many aspects of the Racket programming language. I really like DrDr.

In particular, I am responsible for continued development of the Racket Web Server. It is available with the standard Racket distribution. If you’d like to learn how to use it refer to the tutorial or application reference manual.

I have a Github account with lots of code on it; in particular, most of my PLaneT packages live there.

7.2 Past

I worked on The Whole-Protocol Programming Language, a global language for designing protocols in the strand space model.

I worked on The Cryptographic Protocol Programming Language, a role-based language for designing protocols in the strand space model.

I used to maintain the Continue Conference Manager, a web application for paper submissions, reviews, and PC meetings. It has been superseded by Continue 2.0, which is written in Flapjax.

I wrote the first version of Resume, the Continue of faculty application applications. It has also been rewritten in Flapjax.

8 Personal

I am married to Elizabeth Day McCarthy.

We are both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

9 Links

I direct Mormon history tours for the Mormon Heritage Associaton.

I used to attend the Intercontinental Foreign Language Program at Harvard Square.

10 Contact

My email address is my first name at either cs.byu.edu or racket-lang.org, but I only check my email once a day, so be mindful of that.

My office phone number is 801-422-6350, but it isn’t connected. If you left a voice mail, I should get it.

My office is 3328 TMCB, but if you are mailing me something send it to:
