URS Conference Stories: Yuxi Long (2024), Yingjie Xu (2024), and Shiyou Wu (2024)

In the Fall 2023 semester, Yuxi Long (2024), Yingjie Xu (2024), and Shiyou Wu (2024) utilized a URS Conference Grant to attend and present at the 28th ACM SIGPLAN International Conference on Functional Programming. At the conference, they presented work on a distributed computing framework for the functional programming language Haskell. When asked how the conference experience shaped his research goals, Yuxi noted: "I received feedback on the future possibilities of our prototype and the challenges of each possibility.” This conference experience provided Yuxi a new perspective of the Haskell programming language community: "I found that the Haskell community is very receptive of this idea and about undergraduate research in Haskell," he described to URS.
