Andrei Alexandrescu is widely regarded as one of the foremost experts on advanced C++ programming.[citation needed] He is particularly known for his pioneering work on policy-based design implemented via template metaprogramming. These ideas are articulated in his book Modern C++ Design (Addison-Wesley, 2001, ISBN 0-201-70431-5) and were first implemented in his programming library, Loki. He also implemented the "move constructors" concept in his MOJO library.

Alexandrescu is currently a graduate student at the University of Washington, researching speech recognition. He contributed to the C/C++ Users Journal under the byline "Generic<Programming>"
