Alex Potanin is Associate Professor of Computer Science at the Australian National University, in Canberra, Australia. In 2013 he created the Wyvern (programming language).[1]
Potanin is a Senior Member of the Association for Computing Machinery and is the active steering committee member and the General Chair in 2022 of the SPLASH (conference) - one of the leading publication venues in programming languages design.[2]
Potanin has a world-leading reputation for his work on secure programming language design and module systems. He has published around 100 papers and has thousands of citations.[3] His PhD involved showing how type polymorphism can unify ownership and immutability and resulted in funding from the Marsden_grant that led to the ideas being incorporated in the likes of the Rust (programming language).[4] His other work involves tackling the usable security in programming language design for module systems, decidability of type checking, and abstract and algebraic effects, and finally working with incorporating water quality sensor data into a trusted decentralised marketplace.
