The Programming Languages and Systems (PLaS) research group spans the
breadth and depth of practical and theoretical aspects of programming
languages and system building related to languages. Our work goes across
paradigms (imperative, object-oriented, functional, logic) and is
complemented by our systems research in concurrency, relaxed memory,
verified compilation, verification, language prototypes, garbage
collection, and tools. All our work is linked by a shared vision of the
power and impact of programming languages on the rest of Computer Science.
The PLaS group at Kent has a long history of contributions to the field and
continues to be a hotbed of programming language research in the South East
of England:

The University of Kent campus is in Canterbury, overlooking the historic
city centre. Canterbury is a small city that retains parts of its medieval
walls (with Roman foundations). Famous for its heritage (Canterbury
Cathedral; Chaucer’s Tales; etc), Canterbury is a vibrant community and
UNESCO World Heritage site whose culture and leisure facilities are
enhanced by hosting three universities. With 125 nationalities represented,
the Canterbury campus has a very cosmopolitan feel. The city and
surrounding region combines an attractive and affordable environment,
outstanding schools, and fast transport links to London and mainland Europe.
