Dr. Wahls's research interests are in programming languages and formal software engineering methods, currently focussed on the development of code generation tools for B and Event-B. Three of these tools have been incorporated into open-source projects, notably the EventB2SQL tool, which generates Java, PHP and Android applications from Event-B models.

Answers to IRC questions:

• The interactions seems to be very similar to that found in an (informal) face-to-face meeting - free flowing discussion with light direction from the moderator.
• The communication is relatively linear and informal. There is a mix of one-to-one and one-to-many (at times verging on many-to-many) discussion.
• I don't really observe any terms with meanings beyond the ordinary English ones (other than the obvious MeetBot commands).
• The tone of the conversation is very friendly and supportive.
• Answer to bonus question: looks like only the moderator can issue MeetBot commands.
