Research Goal and Approach:

Together with my collaborators, we develop approaches, tools, and processes to help software engineers engineer (develop and test) software intensive-systems in a more effective and efficient manner; and we conduct empirical studies to assess those approaches, tools, and processes.

We conduct applied Software Engineering (SE) research by ensuring (practical) relevance of software engineering research.
