Andrew C. Meyers

Class of 1912 Professor of Engineering, Department of Computer Science, Cornell University  

Andrew Myers is the Class of 1912 Professor of Engineering in the Department of Computer Science at Cornell University in Ithaca, NY. He received his Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering and Computer Science from MIT in 1999, advised by Barbara Liskov.

His research interests include computer security, programming languages, and distributed and persistent programming systems. His work on computer security has focused on practical, sound, expressive languages and systems for enforcing information security. The Jif programming language makes it possible to write programs which the compiler ensures are secure, and the Fabric system extends this approach to distributed programming. The Polyglot extensible compiler framework has been widely used for programming language research.

Myers is the author of the Condorcet Internet Voting Service, which makes it easy to set up your own secure, anonymous elections across the Internet, using state-of-the-art algorithms for ranking choices.
