In this episode we have over Dan Plyukhin, a PhD Candidate from
the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
We talk about Dan’s research is in the field of parallelism, more
specifically garbage collection in the presence of actors.
Then we also talk about Pedro's research on translating GADTs from OCaml to Coq,
and the burnout process that lead him to take 10 months off from his PhD to
be with his family back in Brazil.
