Doylestown, Pennsylvania native Corey Montella is a Teaching Assistant Professor with Lehigh University's Department of Computer Science and Engineering. He is also Director of the Computer Science Master's Program.
Montella graduated in 2009 from Carnegie Mellon University with dual B.S. degrees in Physics and Business Administration.
He began graduate studies at Lehigh University in 2010 under the direction of Prof. John Spletzer, where he worked on projects such as an autonomous wheelchair and an autonomous gliding aircraft that extracts energy from the wind to fly perpetually. In 2015, Corey took a hiatus from graduate studies to work in industry on a programming language called Eve, a greenfield look at programming as a practice that draws inspiration from languages such as Datalog and Smalltalk.
In 2018, he returned to Lehigh to complete and defend his dissertation, titled “An End-to-End Platform for Autonomous Dynamic Soaring in Wind Shear.”
Corey is currently working on Mech, a programming language for developing data-driven, reactive systems like animations, games, and robots.
