Hello there, my name is Josh Filstrup.

I am a second year Ph.D. student at UC Riverside, working
on programming languages. Within this, my research interests
vary from systems programming to formal verification to static analysis.
This summer I will be a research intern in NVIDIA’s simulation
group, working on language based tooling for high performance systems.

Prior to returning to graduate school, I worked for roughly seven years in
the animated film industry at Pixar, Disney Animation, and Netflix. In this
work I was fortunate to be credited on a few films (Coco, Cars 3, Frozen 2,
Wreck it Ralph 2, and Raya).

In my spare time, I am trying to learn Japanese (僕は日本語が上手じゃありません)

I live in Los Angeles, with my wonderful partner and two cats.
