He’s currently the director of the WebAssembly Research Center at Carnegie Mellon University (where Titzer is also a principal researcher in the school’s Software and Societal Systems department). The center focuses on advancing WebAssembly research in academia, teaching and training students, and broadly supporting the uptake of WebAssembly in new domains.

But Titzer also continues the long-running work on his home-grown programming language Virgil — and a special WebAssembly-running virtual machine named Wizard that just might have a role in changing the way we run software.

Last month Titzer discussed his work in a special appearance on a new YouTube channel called the Microarch Club, for a long interview with Dan Magnum, lead cloud engineer at IoT platform Golioth.
