Research Interests
My primary research area is software engineering. My broad research interest is on programmer productivity. I develop practical techniques and tools to help programmers create cheaper, faster, and more reliable software systems. In particular, my research interests include, but not limited to:
· Fault localization · Performance debugging and runtime performance steering · Distributed, continuous quality assurance (a concept that I defined in my dissertation research) · Software testing · Highly configurable systems
I consider myself to be an experimentalist. I realize my research ideas in incremental prototypes, conduct feasibility studies to evaluate the underlying assumptions and the basic hypotheses, and use the results of these studies to iteratively improve the ideas. Furthermore, I enjoy in-depth analysis of empirical results. I strongly believe that unexpected results often present opportunities for further and better research. One common theme in my research is that I base my solution approaches on mathematically sound objects which help me reason about the solutions.
