Michael Starzinger

Hello, I am currently a PhD student and research assistant at the Department of Computer Sciences at the University of Salzburg, where my advisor is Christoph Kirsch.

Prior to that I worked as a software engineer at Google on V8, the open source high-performance JavaScript and WebAssembly engine used in the Chrome browser and in the Node.js runtime. I also worked on CacaoVM, a Java Virtual Machine which uses Just-In-Time compilation.
