Short Research Description

I work in the field of programming languages and software engineering. More specifically in the area of advanced forms of modularization and domain-specific languages. The overall focus of my work is guided by the following observation: In my experience, we as programming language researchers easily fall in the pit of making ever more powerful languages, with cool, powerful and complex features. This however comes at the cost that the programmer needs to be able to understand and apply these features correctly.

To restate this as the problem on which I focus: How can we, as programming language researchers, help the programmer to correctly use these cool language features we create?
