Students
Interested in research on developers’ productivity in the emerging domains?
I am always looking for exciting research collaborations with students at both undergraduate and graduate levels. If you enjoy challenging yourself to find new solutions to productivity problems and engineering large-scale software systems from scratch or utilizing existing open-source tools, you could be an excellent fit for our lab. To better understand my research interests, please review my recent research papers and provide a brief summary of what excites you and how it will expand our current research.
