Dave Mason

I'm a Professor in the School of Computer Science at Ryerson University.

I am currently developing a new course, CPS514, on Computational Thinking in Our World to be offered to students from across the University

You can click here to see my timetable, or click here to see courses I am teaching or have previously taught.
I have supervised numerous undergraduate thesis students, and I'm always interested in more. You can see possible thesis topics here.
I am supervising some graduate students.

My Curriculum Vitae is here, including committee work.

I am a member of the Software Analysis Research Group, where we are looking at:

an up-front optimizing Java compiler called OptiJava
issues relating to software reliability engineering, particularly Probabilistic Program Execution using Smalltalk,
programming languages, particularly pure object-oriented languages like Smalltalk, Self and Ruby and mostly-functional languages like Scheme and Clojure,

My other academic interests include teaching and attempting to remove impediments to success in computer science for under-represented members of society (particularly women). I am also interested in literate programming and other aspects of text formatting.
