I am an Assistant Professor in the Computer Science Department at Trent University, Peterborough, Canada.
I completed my Ph.D. degree at Queen’s University, Kingston, Canada,
in the Software Evolution & Analytics Lab (SEAL) under the supervision of Prof. Jenny Zou.
I worked as a postdoctoral research fellow at the University of Ottawa, Canada,
followed by a senior research position at the University of Toronto, Canada.
I address complex Software Engineering challenges using Data Science and Artificial Intelligence technologies.
Empirically analyzing software engineering data using qualitative and quantitative research methods to gain actionable insights.
Investigating historical software development and maintenance activities, including commits, discussions, and issue reports.
Improving DevOps and CI/CD pipelines to streamline software builds with faster, concise, and reliable feedback.
Adopting generative, predictive, and explainable AI technologies to model and automate software engineering processes.
Optimizing various aspects of software testing and quality assurance through the power of AI/ML/NLP technologies.
Integrating LLMs into the software development lifecycle to enhance code generation, bug detection, and documentation creation.
Are you passionate to conduct research on the intersection of software engineering, data science, and AI?
